A Legacy of Classical Christian Education in the Quad Cities
The mission of Morning Star Academy is to provide Classical Christian Education that teaches truth and trains disciples, and equips students to transform their communities for God's Glory.
We are fully accredited as a K-12 institution in Iowa.
WhY MORNING STAR ACADEMY?
Truth. Tradition. Academic Excellence.
Morning Star Academy helps students see how every part of life finds its meaning in Christ through a Classical Christian model of learning. We focus on shaping both mind and heart, helping students grow a Biblical worldview alongside strong academic skills.
The Classical Christian model uses hands-on, traditional methods—students learn through books, handwriting, and thoughtful study rather than relying mainly on digital devices. Through challenging academics, prayer, and supportive guidance, we help students learn to think clearly, live faithfully, and serve others with purpose. Working together with parents, we prepare students to engage the world thoughtfully and confidently—for God’s glory.
