At Muskegon Christian School, our mission is to provide academic excellence with a Christian perspective to prepare each student for a lifetime of Christian discipleship.
Muskegon Christian School is dedicated to helping children become adults that shine like stars in a sin-darkened world.
MCS graduates are shining; they are serving God wherever they are in His kingdom.
At MCS we seek to help each student develop their God-given abilities to the fullest potential, enhancing their ability to shine in all they do in order to bring glory to our Heavenly Father.
MCS offers a broad curriculum that covers, not only the core subjects and Bible, but also Spanish, computers, music, band, choir, physical education, and art.
The extra-curricular opportunities further enhance this experience as both boys and girls are offered a full schedule of athletics during the school year.
