MPCS chooses to offer a full array of up to 23 AP courses because they are universally accepted at all universities for college course credit (depending on exam score), whereas dual enrollment credit transfers are not always guaranteed. Currently, 35 honors courses across all subject areas offer additional rigor and demonstrate to colleges a student's willingness to be challenged.

Walking Side By Side

MPCS is a missional family. You’ve discovered a covenantal Christian school that comes alongside parents and students in true partnership, guided by God’s word. Whether it be extra guidance in a fundamental math process or parenting tips for each age and stage, there's no doubt that all who set foot on our campus become truly known and loved. 

With our intentional guidance, students reframe their view of obstacles as learning opportunities and seek God amidst the burden. Along the journey, they gain determination to discover and develop their natural, God-given talents. The end result? Confident, life-long learners with a mature faith to MOVE MOUNTAINS.

Getting to go through school in a Christ-centered environment is a game-changer. When a school prioritizes Jesus and lifting up his name with everything they do, it teaches us to live our lives for Him in everything we do. That’s something I still take with me every day.
