Our History

Established in April of 2011 as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with a mission to provide a safe, nurturing environment that allows children to grow physically, spiritually and academically by integrating biblical faith and quality education into all of our childcare and academic programs. The Academy was the vision of both our founder and Head of School, Brandy Burns. After 2 years of planning, dreaming, and building, our facility opened in 2013. During MSA’s inaugural year, the Academy was comprised of an early education program serving children ages six weeks to five years, a combined Kindergarten and first grade class, a before and after school and summer program serving local school districts. Enrollment quickly grew from thirty-four students in August of that first year to seventy-five students in May of that academic year.

Since that time, MSA has expanded programs to include elementary students through grade 6. The Academy is accredited for grades PreK through 6th by the Association of Christian Schools International in 2015 and Cognia in 2017. Additionally, in 2020, the infant through PreK programs and school age childcare programs received recognition as a 4-Star program (the highest rating) by Texas Rising Star, a quality rating system for early education programs.

What the parents of our students are saying.

My son loves MSA! He is always so excited to go to daycare every morning. He loves all of his teachers and classmates. I love how happy he is when going to daycare and how much he is smiling when he comes out of the building at dismissal. I know that he is well cared for and loved all day while I am at work. That makes my mommy heart so happy!
Lynsie Matthews, Infant parent
My husband and I knew that we wanted our son to go to this school the year it was finished being built. We would drive by during construction and get so excited! The idea of a Christian based education center in our area was so exciting. The moment that we came to tour the school and meet the administration, we knew that this was the place we wanted our son to begin his educational journey. Four years later and we are still here, it was the best decision that we made for his education.
Marilyn Boyett, K-6 parent
When we were first looking for daycare options for our daughter, we heard wonderful things about MSA. After speaking with a staff member about enrollment, we were excited to hear that not only were they a Christian based organization, they also weren’t just a daycare, but a certified school. Everyone we speak to at MSA is always so kind. The environment there won us over from the beginning. We just recently had a second child born and didn’t think twice about putting him in the daycare program. Thank you, MSA! We appreciate all you do!

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at MSA. She loves this school and can't wait to go in the morning. The teachers and curriculum are great!
Makalah, PreK parent
Morning Star Academy has been one of the biggest blessings of moving to the area. The staff are kind, caring, communicative, and knowledgeable - I can tell my toddler feels known and secure because he just lights up when he gets out of the car every morning! Both my husband and I work full-time, and we are so grateful for the care our child receives at this special school.

Our experience with MSA has been great. The teachers genuinely care for the students and their well-being.
Debra, K-6th Parent
At MSA, I have felt my child is valued - that every child is valued. The staff have placed the education and character development of their students at the top of their priorities. The staff and administration are professional and kind. The education, as well as other issues have always been dealt with from a Christian perspective. It is clear the staff are not just Christians in word, but in deed. The incredibly beautiful and modern facility is ALWAYS well maintained and clean. I feel my child is safe from both inside and outside dangers that other children face
Patty, K-6th Parent
We loved the community review of MSA and meeting with the Director for the first time really finalized our decision to send our son here. This team is kind and sweet, and we appreciate the love and attention they offer our son.
Cassandra, Preschool mom
The staff and teachers at Morning Star Academy are very caring and provide communication on a regular basis. We are impressed with how much our child has grown emotionally, socially, and academically since starting at the academy.
Veronica, Toddler parent
Every time I drop my daughter off at school or other programs I leave knowing that she is being well cared for and loved. I never feel like the staff that work with my daughter are doing it for a job but because they truly care and enjoy being with her. Since I can't be a stay-at-home mom, I feel that her going to MSA is the next best thing for her.
Michelle, K-6th Parent
We have been blessed to have our children in this school for the last 5 years. The staff is family oriented and have good moral beliefs and values that we have in our home. The quality of teachers and the education they have received is unmatched when it is backed by God’s blessing. Our children will have a better start to their entire lives because of this school and itsteachings. My children have been empowered by the Bible’s teachings to handle anything life throws at them and deal with it in a positive manner. This is only a fraction of what the school is about!
Daniel, K-6th Parent
MSA has been such a blessing to our little love and our family. This was the first place our son stayed outside of family starting in toddler transition class. They helped him transition as well as my mommy heart. Many tears from mom in the beginning, they were there for us both. They care for our little the same as we do. We have enjoyed seeing him grow so much since we first started at MSA, not only into his tiny self but the Christian teachings and learning the Bible. I love that he comes home with questions about Jesus and telling us things he learned. This is an amazing, caring group of teachers, staff, & leaders that go above & beyond. I will forever be grateful for this group.
Carmen, PreK Parent
Morning Star Academy has been a blessing to us. We come from Venezuela and have been away from family which makes it difficult to raise our children without the support that family can provide. MSA has been incredibly supporting and from the beginning (almost 5 years ago) we felt it was the perfect place for our girls to grow and learn. We appreciate every MSA member because they all put their hearts into what they do, care for our children.
