“In fy24, machias valley christian school served 36 students from k4 through 7th grade. Beyond meeting academic standards, the school nurtures each child's awareness of the world, sense of responsibility within the community, and compassion for others. From their earliest classroom experiences, students learn practical life skills such as reading clocks, understanding calendars, observing weather patterns, and writing in cursive. Both independent and cooperative learning are encouraged, fostering confidence and teamwork. Core instruction emphasizes strong reading comprehension, while science lessons come to life through hands-on experiments. Art and music are integral parts of the curriculum-students perform a christmas chorale each december, and their artwork is proudly displayed during the annual spring spaghetti dinner. Students also learn generosity in action by raising funds to support missionaries of their choosing and by participating in the much-loved spring "pie toss" fundraiser. Academic progress is monitored through annual iowa testing in select grades. In fy24, financial aid was awarded to two families in need.”
