History


Morrison Christian Academy started over 50 years ago in Taichung in a bamboo hut with six children. Soon after its inception, missionary groups quickly got organized and expanded this school to thirty-five students, and named the school after Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to Mainland China.
In Kaohsiung, many missionary children went to the U.S. Department of Defense School, but when it closed in 1974, they were without a school. Morrison Academy opened a K-8 school (called Morrison Academy Kaohsiung) near Cheng Ching Lake.
In two years, the school grew from three teachers and thirty-three students to four teachers and forty-five students. The school expanded further by building a six-classroom school at Kao Tan. The school moved again in 1996, back to Cheng Ching Lake and shared a campus with the Da Hua Elementary School in Fengshan. In 2000, they opened the current MAK campus.
