ParentEd. Talks

WHAT IS ParentEd.?

As part of our school mission to partner with home, MPCS is proud to offer opportunities throughout the year to guide parents through the challenges of raising children. MPCS ParentEd. brings you “Ted”-style talks on relevant topics. 

Mr. Steve Kyle, assistant head of school for Christian Life, will host several opportunities for parents to engage with the school. These P.E.P. (Parents Engaging Purposefully) Talks are designed to help parents navigate the teen years and upcoming developmental transitions. New content will be presented to give you positive and proactive guidance in how to raise your kids in these challenging years through a biblical lens. We require parents of rising grades 4 and 5, 6, and grade 9 sign up to attend ONE of these sessions. 

If you’ve attended in the past, please do so again, as Mr. Kyle’s message will be different than previous sessions. All other parents are also welcome to attend. All sessions are located in the Murray Arts Center, Choral Rehearsal Room on the first floor OR the Artist Reception Room on the second floor.

 


Partnering with Parents in Raising Phenomenal Kids

Raising kids of great character who are academically prepared with a solid biblical foundation takes intentionality and focus. As an important part of our school mission, Mount Paran Christian School partners with home and church in the total education of your children. Our purpose is to help you guide your children in their Christian faith and moral foundation. MPCS is committed to providing families with great parenting resources and tips to help overcome obstacles as children grow through different stages. We also explore many trends and topics that are influencing young children and teens in today's culture.

We are pleased to announce upcoming ParentEd. seminars and "Ted"- style talks listed below. Please mark your calendars for any or all seminars that you might find beneficial. All MPCS parents, neighbors, and friends in the community are also invited to attend!
