You know, as we know, that the most significant thing your children can grasp before entering the world is the Truth of Jesus Christ. At the very core of your parent-heart, you desire more than anything for your children to thrive in their faith and abilities. But you also know that these values are increasingly under fire in our culture and sadly, in our public schools. Shouldn't it be crucial then, to guarantee this moral foundation through everything your children learn during their many hours at school? For the lessons they absorb from their peers, teachers, and curriculum to be in sync with your church and home? That is why we're here.  Mount Paran Christian school exists to provide exemplary academics in **small** classes with Christ at the center. Our job is to prepare this generation — in the classroom, on the ball field, on the stage, and ultimately in our community. From the smallest three-year-old to the tallest high school senior, we prepare servant-leaders to honor God, love others, and walk in Truth. This is our highest priortiy, as it is yours.   ### **Watch the MPCS Kindergarten Video:**     ### Crucial Early-Childhood Foundations The key to unlocking each child’s potential is to *begin* with the *end* in mind. Our ever-changing world requires individuals to be persistent, resourceful, creative, and confident problem-solvers with both knowledge of and empathy for the world around them. From the first day students walk in our doors, they will encounter a loving environment where these qualities are modeled, taught, and supported. This foundation serves our students well as many graduates who began MPCS in preschool are now thriving at schools such as **Columbia, UC Berkeley, Duke**, and **MIT**.  It all starts with our early-childhood programs in preschool through second grade. We encourage you to come visit the classrooms to witness innovative learning first-hand. You will get a face-to-face meeting with state-certified and degreed early-childhood educators to ask questions and get answers about how your child might benefit from challenging, age-appropriate instruction and a focus on nurturing their walk with God. **[Click here](https://info.mtparanschool.com/why_early_childhood_education?hsLang=en-us)** to read the blog "Daycare vs. Church Weekday vs. MPCS Preschool: What's the Difference?"     ### **Get to Know MPCS** Mount Paran Christian School is a PreK3 - 12th grade private, covenantal Christian, college-preparatory school.
