About Us

We are a Christian Elementary private school established in 2025 and located in North Mesa, Los Alamos NM. Our founder, Ms. Sarai Rascon, wanted to create a schooling alternative for families who were seeking a Christian education that balanced academic excellence and personal development.

Our desire is for MTCA to be more than just a place of education — we want it to be a safe haven for students and families. MTCA believes education is most impactful when students are known, valued, and loved. Whether in the classroom, on the playground, during worship, or through community service, we aim to reflect the love of Christ in all we do.

Though we are in the early stages of founding the school, we take the responsibilty of educating each child seriously. We're excited to start the year with a biblical-based curriculum, and staff with previous teaching experience. We are also diligently working on completing ACT-S accreditation by Spring 2027.

MTCA is always looking to partner with the local community, churches and families to ensure the school grows and improves with each year.
