The Arts and It's Role

Artistic expression is a true demonstration of God’s creative gifts, and the exercise of those gifts are a manifestation of our love for Him.

MPCS arts education  programming broadens creative thinking that can be leveraged in academics and applied in life.

MPCS is passionate about the opportunity and need to develop artistic and aesthetic skills in students to transform the American arts culture for Christ. As a result, for many, the arts are essential to their Christian calling and excellence is passionately fostered.

Curricular Arts Training

MPCS supports curricular programming that leverages the arts to train academic minds and creative thinkers in every grade level. Hands-on experiences open the neural pathways used for math, science, and language arts.
From preschool through high school, students are exposed to opportunities in the arts that can yield success in the classroom and beyond.

We have always been and continue to be impressed with the quantity and variety of extracurricular activities at MPC. There is definitely a well-rounded offering that seems to provide opportunity for all interests.

    The community of MPCS is the greatest benefit of our investment. There is a sense of belonging within the arts, academic, and athletic communities. Because of this, my daughter has had more opportunity to develop her leadership skills and take part in many clubs and activities that have helped her grow into the smart, talented, and accomplished young lady she is now.
