Founders - John & Jan Walsh:
After administrating and teaching in several Christian schools, John and Jan Walsh decided to teach their children at home. Jan was delighted with the way home schooling helped her get to know and understand her children. John felt driven to share the how-to's of home schooling with others.

In 1982 they founded Midwest Christian Academy with a goal of elevating the quality of home education and making it more rewarding for children and parents alike. For over 27 years, their desire to help other families meet the challenges of homeschooling has not diminished. All their children are now grown, but the Walshes are thrilled to have all their grandchildren being homeschooled.

Our staff has had years of experience working with home school parents. Our office keeps a quiet, fun, yet professional atmosphere. Not only is there very little turnover in our staff, but our homeschool parents tend to stay with us for the long term. Since 1982, MCA has been the homeschool academy of choice for those who want helpful friendly staff, quality education, and a great home school experience.
