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 a whopping thirty-five students, and named their creation after Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to Mainland China.

In Kaohsiung, many missionary kids went to the U.S. Department of Defense School, but when it closed in 1974, they were without a school. Morrison Academy stepped in to fill that need and opened a K-8 school (called Morrison Academy Kaohsiung) near Cheng Ching Lake. In two years, it grew from three teachers and thirty-three students to four teachers and forty-five students. Missionary kids kept coming, and they built a six-classroom school at Kao Tan to hold them all. Even this school, however, could not hold the growing enrollment, so they 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.
