Explore the Murray Arts Center

The magic happens in the Murray Arts Center, home to brilliant and talented artists by day, and bustling after-school programs into the evening.

The Murray Arts Center's rehearsal spaces, classrooms, audio and video equipment, and recording capabilities are conducive to enhancing the arts experience for MPCS students, families, and the community.

The opportunities offered by the Arts department were a key component of why we chose Mount Paran. We were excited that our son would be able to utilize a world-class facility like the Murray Arts Center. No other school has access to the caliber of resources that the school offers.
