Our philosophy of Christian education is an expression of Jesus’ teaching that believers are to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” Students are taught to think critically and to develop a biblical worldview. Our professional Christian teaching staff helps prepare students academically and spiritually to be caring and productive citizens. Instruction in Bible is foundational at MCS and students are required to perform community service in the church or community. Weekly chapel services with student-led worship and missions outreaches also challenge and equip students to be ambassadors of Christ in their community and the world.
