Who We Are

Our Mission

Empower Students to live with integrity, strive for academic excellence and live out their God-Given purpose.

Our Vision

Equip the next generation with a strong, academic foundation while also teaching them to be courageous, compassionate, think beyond themselves, and understand Christ in a global context.

Our Goals at MSCS

Encourage students to authentically pursue Jesus and understand Christ in a global context.

Provide a highly academic foundation that prepares students for further pursuit of advanced education, and make this education accessible to anyone who wants it.

Create a safe environment in which each student is known on an individual level.

Our Core Values

  • We believe that our very existence depends on the unmerited favor bestowed on us by God through the death of Christ on the cross (Col. 2:13-14; Titus 3:4-7). Therefore, we:

    Develop an environment where people are loved, not because of what they do, but because we choose to love them (Duet. 7:7-8; II Tim. 1:9-10)

    Cultivate an environment where forgiveness is practiced and encouraged (Eph. 4:30-5:2)

    Endeavor to keep rules to a minimum (Gal. 2:16; Col. 2:20-23).

    Strive to encourage success rather than focusing on preventing failure (Phil. 3:12-14)

    Encourage students to develop the resilience of a maturing faith that enables them to persevere through difficult circumstances (Rom. 5:1-5; James 1:2-4)

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s Word (I Thess. 2:13; II Tim. 3:16-17), that God’s Word is truth (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17), and that knowledge of it is key to unleashing its transformational power (John 8:31-32). Therefore, we:

    Teach that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).

    Endeavor to teach truth in all academic subjects (Ps. 25:4-5; II Tim. 2:15; John 17:17).

    Evaluate all truth claims against Scripture (Ps. 119:97-104; Acts 17:11).

    Encourage our students to embrace truth and live according to it (John 8:31-32; Ps. 15:2-3; II Tim. 2:15; III John 1:4).

    Strive for growth, learning, and improvement according to God’s Word as individuals and as an institution (1 Cor. 9:24-27; Phil. 3:12-14; I Thess. 4:1).

  • We believe that we are each called to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27). Therefore, we:

    Cultivate an outward focus by encouraging students to serve others (Heb. 13:16).

    Provide encouragement and assistance to other Christian schools (II Cor. 8:3-5; Phil. 2:3-4).

    Endeavor to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15).

    Diligently preserve unity (Eph. 4:3; Phil. 2:2) while valuing each other’s unique giftedness (Rom. 12:3-8; I Cor. 12:12-27).

    Monitor the effect of our behavior on others so that we do not hinder someone’s relationship with the Lord (Rom.14:1-23; II Tim. 2:23-26).

Philosophy of Education

The school is composed of families from a variety of Christian congregations, each with their own historical heritage regarding issues of traditions, preferences, and distinctives.  The discussion of these differences is permissible and encouraged as a part of the curriculum; however, it will be done with due respect in the spirit of Christian charity with Scripture as the rule. Our employees do not favor any particular Christian denominational distinctives that extend beyond the Statement of Faith of MSCS.

Philosophy of Education

  • All people are created with equal and unalienable rights.

  • Every child is blessed with unique talents and abilities to be discovered, encouraged, and developed.

  • All children have an innate ability to learn.

  • Education is a necessary component to equip and empower children to be successful in life.

  • Students desire to be academically challenged in order to learn and improve.

  • A child’s best effort is a vital step in realizing their full potential.

  • School should be a safe and stimulating learning environment.

  • Learning should occur in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation.

  • Teachers must know their students on a personal level in order to accommodate their needs and differentiate instruction for diverse learning styles.

    Parents hold the ultimate, God-given authority and responsibility to teach and train their children. Teachers serve as vital partners in this process, coming alongside parents to support and reinforce the educational and spiritual development of each child.

    Teachers should not only be dedicated to the pursuit of lifelong learning for themselves but also cultivate that desire in their students as well.

    Parents who invest time and experience in their child’s learning will positively impact the student’s attitude towards learning.
