Mt. Bethel Christian Academy (MBCA) is a private, non-profit Christ-centered college preparatory school founded in 1998 and headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. The institution serves 705 students from Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade across two campuses—a Lower & Middle Schools campus on Lower Roswell Road (4385) and an Upper School campus on Post Oak Tritt Road (2509)—encompassing a combined 76 acres. The school employs 104 staff and maintains a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

The academic product includes 42 AP/Honors/Advanced/Dual Enrollment classes, four STEM tracks (Biomedical, Computer Science, Engineering, Environmental) culminating in Certificate or Honors distinctions, a Film Academy launched in Fall 2022 and now spanning grades 6-12, performing arts, visual arts, athletics with 40+ teams, a Senior Thesis capstone, and a Student Ministry program anchored in chapel, Bible classes, and mission trips. Operational platforms include FACTS Management for enrollment and tuition billing, Blackbaud for donor management, SchoolDoc for FERPA/HIPAA-compliant health records, and student-facing tools spanning 3D printing, CAD, robotics, AR/VR, and Adobe creative software. Documented outcomes include a 100% college acceptance rate, with the Class of 2026 earning over $9.18M in scholarships and 88% qualifying for the Georgia HOPE scholarship.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition—covering approximately 90% of actual education costs—supplemented by an Annual Fund campaign (2025-26 goal of $800,000), the Georgia GOAL state tax-credit scholarship program, corporate sponsorships ranging from $500 Community to $10,000+ Platinum, and periodic capital campaigns including the "Building Up" initiative launched in 2024 to fund new athletic facilities and a Student Center. Distribution relies on a three-step direct admissions process (inquire/visit/apply), continuous enrollment for returning families, parent council referrals, and church/community partnerships; tuition is administered through FACTS payment plans.
