Monroe Christian School is a state-approved, private Christian day school requiring that all teachers (K-8th grade) have a BA degree in education. MCS has worked hard to provide excellence in a Christ-centered education since 1956.
Monroe Christian School is pleased to offer a variety of educational programs for grades Preschool - 8th grade. The curriculum emphasis is placed on the fundamental skills that are the foundations for higher-level thinking. The primary purpose of our educational program is to incorporate a Christian perspective into all areas of learning
MCS strives to keep its programs current, updating the textbooks as necessary to meet the demands of a particular class. We use Christian textbook publications wherever possible; however, we also make use of quality secular publications and teacher-made units.
Monroe Christian School was founded in 1956 by a group of Christian men and women of the Christian Reformed Church desiring to be obedient to the command of God to "train up children in the Lord." The school started its first classes in a back room of the Christian Reformed Church.
It quickly outgrew those facilities, so four acres of land were purchased and a four-classroom building was constructed at our present location on Main Street in Monroe. Growth of the student body continued through the 1960's into the 1970's, so the school building was once again expanded; this time to eight classrooms. In the 1980's the school added kindergarten to its well-established first through eighth grade program. The early childhood education program (preschool) was added in 1989. In 1992, the school purchased an adjoining piece of property to accommodate even more growth.
After more than 50 years, Monroe Christian School is still maintained by Christian men and women who desire to give children the opportunity to receive a Christ-centered education, based upon the infallible and inspired Word of God - the Bible.
VISION: Monroe Christian School is a Christ-Centered Community equipping God's children for service in His kingdom.
MISSION: We at Monroe Christian School partner with Christian homes and churches to nurture and equip God's children. We recognize that Jesus Christ is sovereign over all creation and has created each child with unique abilities, gifts and talents.
Our purpose is to develop and encourage growth in every area of their lives; spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically, according to God's Word and relying on the Holy Spirit. Through this process, children will develop a Christian perspective of life that will help them critically weigh the issues of the day and lead them into faithful stewardship of God's world and into a life of joyful service.
Triune God We believe in one God who exists eternally as three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
God the Father We believe that God created and continues to uphold the world by His Word. We also believe that He is the exalted Lord of the universe and the Creator of all things. He gives life to all things and actively preserves His handiwork. In Christian education, the child comes to learn about the Creator God through His creation.
Jesus Christ We believe through Jesus Christ, the power of sin has been broken and we are reconciled to God through Him. Jesus calls us to the building of a Christian church, culture, and way of life. Therefore, it is the task of the Christian school to help our children build a biblical foundation for living.
Holy Spirit We believe the Holy Spirit renews our hearts to love God and our neighbors. He directs our understanding to know God, ourselves, and our world. It is through yielding to His counsel that we develop the Christian walk.
The Bible We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. God reveals Himself in the Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is the basis for all of our relationships, thoughts, and activities; therefore, the Scriptures are also our guide in the education of our children.
Man We believe man is created in the image of God to enjoy fellowship with his Creator. Man reflects, in his person and work, the excellence of his Maker.
