School Reviews
| 5 We moved our oldest daughter to this school in 2nd grade and was completely blown away from the transformation that took place in his confidence and academic abilities. He was more than prepared for college. We started our other two children at MPCS in preschool. They have had a great experience at this school. While MPCS is not a perfect community, it has not only provided a strong academic experience but a strong Christian world view which is priceless! - Posted by Parent - johnb |
| 5 My family has been part of the MPCS community for going on sixteen years, and there is NO PLACE LIKE MPCS! Everything is done with excellence and love and Christ-centeredness. The academics, athletics, arts, facilities, chapels, technological advancements, faculty, administrators, and even the food are the BEST! Graduates are well-rounded and feel incredibly prepared for college and can defend their faith in God. The study-abroad opportunities and mission trips offer amazing chances to discover the world and learn about other cultures. The student body and staff are becoming more and more diverse each year - a testament to the family atmosphere. I am proud to be involved with this school - especially as they launch into building an innovation center for high school that is likely to achieve national recognition. The tuition isn't cheap, but it's a worthy investment into the intentional development of the children - spirit, body, and mind. - Posted by Parent - Isaac's Mom |
| 5 My child attended MPCS from 5th grade to 12 grade, where she graduated in 2014. This school was a wonderful environment for her to be challenged academically, grow spiritually and emotionally. SUCH A GREAT PLACE! - Posted by Teacher - AndreaR |
| 5 We have thoroughly enjoyed our 14 years at this school. Outstanding academics, phenomenal campus, and loving environment that we believe has equipped our sons to be very successful in college. - Posted by Parent - AmyS |
| 5 We recently moved to Oklahoma after having children at Mount Paran Christian School for the past 18 years. My husband had been offered many job promotions in the past, but he would never take them because we did not want to leave this school. While we have found another Christian school for our daughters to attend, it just does not compare to Mount Paran. The teachers, the administrators, the students...they are all the BEST and we miss them terribly! We LOVE Mount Paran Christian School! - Posted by Parent - KarenL |
| 5 Our son transferred from Cobb county public school prior to 10th grade: to be challenged academically, to be less anonymous (more godly adults around him), to mature socially. He graduated May of '16 with and accepted a Presidential Scholarship to Auburn University. He had his share of missteps, but grace abounds at MPCS. Teachers and administrators lead, encourage and fight for kids to find and use their gifts to the glory of God because they have been called to this place. Passion cannot be faked, this place is the real deal. - Posted by Parent - dougd |
