History

In 1957, the dream to start a private Christian school in Midland took roots. We opened our doors and welcomed thirty kindergarten students. Since that time, MCS has undergone a significant expansion in enrollment, currently serving students in three year old preschool through grade twelve. The pursuit of excellence in academics, athletics, and extracurricular programs continues to be our trademark.

Our purpose is to glorify God by providing an excellent education in a Christian atmosphere. This Christ-centered education nurtures students to become spiritually minded, academically prepared, socially balanced, and equipped to make a positive impact in their community to the Glory of God.

Statement of philosophy

The Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty and Staff of Midland Christian School believe that Christianity promotes the highest ideals, develops the strongest character, and holds the greatest promise of any way of life.  The entire program of Midland Christian School centers around Biblical principles that govern Christianity.  Therefore, our emphasis is to work with parents to provide education in a wholesome spiritual environment under teachers with the highest Christian ideals.  We believe this is best accomplished when the church, the home and the school work together. These guiding principles are incorporated into a curriculum designed to teach the WHOLE child -  morally, intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially, instilling a Biblical worldview.  These goals are achieved by helping each student attain academic excellence, physical soundness, high moral standards and civic responsibility.  A statement attributed to James Monroe perhaps sums up the philosophy of Midland Christian School.  "The question to be asked at the end of an educational step is not what has the child learned, but what has the child become." This philosophy shall apply to every student who qualifies for admission regardless  of  race, color, religion, sex, handicap and/or national origin.
