Why Philanthropy Matters at Maranatha
Choosing Maranatha means investing in more than a school—it means supporting a Christ-centered mission that shapes students academically, spiritually, and personally.
Our mission states: “We champion a Christ-centered, university-preparatory education to equip the whole student through academics, arts, athletics, and service for the glory of God.”
Tuition supports this mission, but it does not cover the full cost of a Maranatha education. Like most independent schools, we rely on philanthropy to grow programs, enhance campus life, and strengthen our future.
At Maranatha, philanthropy is a partnership between families, alumni, and friends who help make possible what tuition alone cannot.
What Philanthropy Makes Possible
Tuition keeps our doors open.
Philanthropy helps us flourish.
Philanthropy helps us flourish.
Through the generosity of our community, we are able to:
1. Expand Access — The Maranatha Fund
- Supports daily operations and tuition assistance
- Helps more than half of our students attend
Giving removes financial barriers so mission-fit students can enroll.
2. Upgrade Learning — Classroom Modernization
- New technology, furnishings, and teacher workstations
- Learning spaces that inspire excellence
These improvements are donor-funded, not tuition-funded.
3. Transform Campus Life — First Impressions
- New plaza, enhanced gym, athletic spaces, and refreshed natatorium
Creating a warm, Christ-centered welcome for students, families, and guests.
4. Secure Our Future — Endowment
- Permanent funds that strengthen tuition assistance, programs, and faculty support
Legacy gifts build stability for generations to come.
Impact That Shapes Students
Philanthropy advances a mission, not a budget. Every gift helps form students who exemplify the qualities we desire for every graduate: Students of Christ, Intentional Learners, Invested Citizens, and Skilled Communicators.
Because of your partnership, Maranatha doesn’t just sustain; we dream, build, and grow.
