Our Mission


South Merrimack Christian Academy, a ministry of Merrimack Valley Baptist Church, is a life preparatory school in partnership with parents to cultivate the academic, spiritual, and emotional growth of students and to inspire them to influence our culture for Jesus Christ.

Athletics at SMCA

At SMCA, our athletics program is more than just competition—it’s an opportunity to develop character, teamwork, and Christlike leadership.

Through team sports and physical training, students learn to honor God in victory and defeat, work together toward shared goals, and build discipline that carries into every area of life.

Testimonials

What families have to say about their experience at SMCA.

“Above all else, I desire for my children to have a relationship with God. For that relationship to be rooted so deep that the world cannot take it away. In their early years, it is crucial they are given every advantage to have a strong foundation and for a strong root system to take place. We choose SMCA so our children are surrounded by the Word of God in every aspect of their lives so that when the day comes when they must engage in the mission field more openly and on their own, they have the advantage of a Godly, prayer, & scripture filled childhood.”

“. . . . when we came to SMCA, everything was just excellent. Talking with the school administrator was delightful and a blessing. The program was well explained and the expectation of the parents well stated and explained. The experience was enough for us to move our children to SMCA.”

“The teachers are absolutely awesome—respectful, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to the students’ success. They create a positive and encouraging learning environment that makes a big difference.”

“We have chosen SMCA for the emphasis on Christ and to have our children taught by those in the Word as well.”

“Transitioning from homeschooling to a Christ-centered school environment that exists for the glory of God, with opportunities for social interaction and intramural sports alongside other Christian schools, fosters my children's growth and character development.”

“I chose SMCA because from the moment I walked in, it felt like home. My spirit was filled with joy, and I just knew it was the right place for my child. The discipline, respect, and love for God are evident throughout the school—it’s a truly special environment.”

“My son has grown spiritually in a remarkable way. His knowledge of the Word and his desire to learn more about God have deepened significantly. It’s such a blessing to witness his spiritual development.”

“We are so thankful and blessed to be part of this SMCA. It has truly been an answer to our prayers. The love, support, and strong sense of community here have strengthened our faith and brought so much joy to our lives. We are grateful for the guidance, teaching, and fellowship that help our kids grow spiritually and academically every day.”
