Middle School marks a defining time in a student’s educational journey.

Mount Dora Christian Academy helps make this transition period a little easier through small class sizes and a wide variety of extracurricular activities that support their social growth.

Building Community & Connections

During this time of change and growth, our goal is to build a community where students feel safe, valued, and recognized. MDCA provides a challenging curriculum in a safe, supportive environment that is aligned with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards.
