“Growing" in Project-Based Curriculum
June 29, 2017
CO-WRITTEN BY KRISTY DODSON
The lower school at Mount Paran Christian School is always a fun and busy place, but this past spring it was especially exciting in second grade. The second grade teachers along with the help of Lower School Head, Dr. Davis, embarked on a six-week pilot program to introduce project-based learning to their students. 
The Eagles Have Landed

When you think of Boy Scouts, what comes to your mind? Uniforms? Tents and camping? Pinewood derby-racing? Most likely, some common thoughts would be about young men learning to be responsible citizens, or learning service or other moral values. In fact, the Scout Law reads: “A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.”
A Reflection of Christian Education
June 15, 2017
I am often asked to capture what sets MPCS apart from other educational settings. At times I find it difficult, not only to place into words the feelings and personal connections we have with our students and parents but also to comprehend how critical our Christian curriculum is to the spiritual foundation of our children.
A Summer So Sweet

As a student at Mount Paran Christian School, I see my school striving to help the environment. Our environmental science teacher, Mr. Justin Nelson, had the vision to install a beehive near the high school. We collaborated with some other classes for the project. The hive was installed near Lake McDonald on the MPCS campus, in the shadow of Kennesaw Mountain.
