South Merrimack Christian Academy exists as a ministry of Merrimack Valley Baptist Church for the purpose of providing a quality education rooted in God's Word, and of preparing the hearts and minds of God's children in partnership with the Christian community for service in God's world.

Christian Education

By Christian Education, we refer to the teaching of basic Christian truths - the fact that God exists and is the Creator; that He is the God of Love, and that He wants to be our personal friend through His son, Jesus.  We teach these truths through daily Bible stories and lessons, along with weekly chapel services.  In addition, our entire program is taught in an atmosphere acknowledging the existence and love of God. It is our purpose to provide our students with a curriculum that is of the highest quality. The curriculum that best fits our criteria is a combination of the A Beka and Bob Jones curriculums. The students are held accountable to a high standard of performance in each of their classes.
