Mission and goals
Mount Paran Christian School opened in 1976 as a private independent school with the goal of academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment. The program seeks to incorporate a college preparatory curriculum motivated by combining school, church activities and the students home. The school recognizes that the extended family plays an integral part in the student’s daily life and applaud their support at school events, such as chapel, field trips, musical events, games, and musical and drama productions.
The school's mission statement is "Providing academic excellence in a Christ-centered environment, Mount Paran Christian School unites with home and church to prepare servant-leaders to honor God, love others, & walk in truth."
