Montrose Christian School, a diverse
caring community, provides a Bible-based liberal arts education
to equip our students to fulfill God’s purposes for their lives.
Our school was established in 1977 to serve as a ministry
providing a Christian education for the community. As MCS
accomplishes its mission, we desire to paint a picture of where
we believe God is taking the ministry.
We see a school that serves like-minded families that
are committed to a Christ-centered liberal arts education.
The families that make up the school will come from diverse
types of cultural backgrounds, but yet be committed to the
mission and vision of MCS. As a multicultural community,
the school will reflect the love of Christ that crosses all
cultural and socio-economic boundaries.
We see a school that helps parents develop boys and
girls into young men and women that are able to engage the
culture. This development will come from a faculty and
staff that are committed to Christ, to a God-honoring school
culture and to a rigorous academic curriculum. Men and
women, who are willing to mentor students in faith, while
teaching in their academic disciplines and serving in other
roles throughout the school.
We see a school continuing to develop and enhance its
curriculum to equip students spiritually and intellectually for
the rest of their lives. These developments will raise the
bar for academic achievements. The curriculum will not be
merely teaching subjects, but will integrate faith and
scholarship, designed to develop critical thinking and
persuasive communication skills. We see a curriculum that
culminates in a senior thesis and class trip that allows for the
world to become the classroom.
We see a school that excels outside of the classroom as
well, developing well-rounded students. MCS will provide
students opportunities to reflect Christian character and beauty
through extracurricular activities. We see students
honoring Christ with excellence and success in athletics, fine
arts (such as music, drama and art), clubs and oratory teams
(such as debate and speech).
We see students who are actively engaged in the
classroom, learning with enthusiasm. We see students
progressing through MCS, prepared to engage the culture,
unshaken by the various worldviews, and able to defend the faith
in intellectual and non-embarrassing ways. We see students
who know how to think but also know how to communicate in an
elegant and persuasive manner. We see students who become
leaders in our world. In the midst of a culture that has
abandoned God, we see students who will make an impact, paving
the way and making disciples of the generation that will follow
them. We see students committed to holiness, who will
fulfill God’s purposes for their lives by living and proclaiming
the redemptive love of Christ.
We see Montrose Christian School impacting the world
for the glory of God, one student at a time.
