Culture in Action

Maranatha is not just a school, it’s a community where each student and staff member contributes to what makes up the culture of the school. Together we commit to becoming:

Spirit-Driven Leaders 

Spirit-driven leaders lead with integrity and take the opportunity to serve others by being the hands and feet of Jesus. These are the types of leaders we develop at Maranatha. John 14:16–17, 26 

Courageous Change Agents

Courageous change agents aren’t afraid to create change and make a difference. Students are challenged to stand on the Word of God, speak truth in love, and to be bold enough to make a difference. Deuteronomy 31:6 

Compassionate Problem Solvers 

Compassionate problem solvers focus on others and find solutions that create wins. Empathy challenges students to see others through the eyes of Christ by being kind and compassionate in their problem-solving. 1 Peter 3:8 

Impactful Innovators 

Impactful innovators are keen observers of the needs in today’s complex world. These students think outside the box, ask challenging questions, collaborate with others, and design innovative solutions. Genesis 1:1-31 (emphasis on 1:27) 

Critical Thinkers 

Critical thinkers solve big problems. Students are challenged to ask why and how to foster intellectual curiosity that leads to a sense of wonder and sparks great ideas. Proverbs 4:5, 7 

Kingdom Community Builders

Kingdom community builders are inspired to personally know Jesus and love others based on biblical truths and mutual respect. This cultivates a distinctly Christ-centered community that reflects the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:10

Students nominated the previous week are announced over the intercom. All names then go into a weekly drawing where one student receives a prize. Every student, however, receives a nomination award that includes the write-up of why they were nominated. Lower School administration, teachers, support staff, and paras look for students who display being one or more of the attributes listed above.
