The 1988 alumnus, representing our first graduating class, commented on the vast programs, the beautiful campus and buildings, and the record enrollment after briefly reflecting on our humble beginnings. “Did you ever see all of this in our future?” he asked me. Clearly, the answer was "no."    ![Wall](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Wall.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=Wall.jpg)  [![5 Ways Christians Can Respond to Bullying](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-ways-christians-can-respond-to-bullying) ## [5 Ways Christians Can Respond to Bullying](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-ways-christians-can-respond-to-bullying) November 09, 2023 Bullying is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide. It’s a problem that transcends age, gender, and social status. While it manifests in various forms, the core elements of bullying remain consistent: the intentional infliction of harm - often through physical, verbal, or psychological means - on an individual who feels powerless to defend themselves. As Christians, it’s up to us to lead the charge on shaping a more compassionate and loving society to help prevent and stop bullying.    ![Shelton High Fives](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=Shelton%20High%20Fives.jpg) [![Motivated by School Mission](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/PK%20prayers.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/motivated-by-school-mission) ## [Motivated by School Mission](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/motivated-by-school-mission) October 10, 2023 It is logical for confusion to exist when those of us in K-12 Christian education begin to define ourselves. It should be simple and straightforward, right? Well, not exactly. The many Christian schools that exist across the American landscape do share a common goal: we are colleagues who have embraced a calling to academic excellence in an environment that honors Christ preeminently. I have discovered none who refutes this. These two aspirational goals stand as the cornerstones and foundations on which Christian education has been built.    ![PK prayers](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PK%20prayers.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=PK%20prayers.jpg)  [![Living Biblically: What's Your Word of the Year?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/word%20of%20the%20year%20board.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/whats-your-word-of-the-year) ## [Living Biblically: What's Your Word of the Year?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/whats-your-word-of-the-year) January 26, 2023 Each January, as we turn the page on the calendar to a new year, along comes New Year's resolutions - a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year. Of course, a new year's resolution can be great! But, all too often, what starts off as a great idea can end up feeling rigid and restrictive and is ultimately ditched after a few months. Instead, consider a different tactic to help you focus with intentionality this year: choose a *word* of the year.   ![word of the year board](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/word%20of%20the%20year%20board.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=word%20of%20the%20year%20board.jpg)  [![What is a Covenant School?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/DSC01508.jpeg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/what-is-a-covenant-school) ## [What is a Covenant School?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/what-is-a-covenant-school) January 12, 2023 If you know a little about Christian education with experience as a parent, teacher, or administrator you might be aware that there are pretty significant differences among religious schools. You may have had the privilege of being a part of several different christian school communities — large and small, up north or down south, preschool or just high school. A big difference among these independent Christian schools that they may or may not share is whether they are *covenantal* or not. This begs the question: what does being a covenant school actually mean? ![DSC06914](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC06914.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=DSC06914.jpg)  [![Seeing Through a New Lens: A Biblical Worldview](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/LS%20kids%20praying%20at%20veterans%20chapel.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/biblical-worldview) ## [Seeing Through a New Lens: A Biblical Worldview](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/biblical-worldview) December 14, 2022 “For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” *—2 Corinthians 10:4-5*   No matter one’s age, there comes a time that prescription glasses become a necessary fact of life. Even if you have long had perfect 20/20 vision, eye strength weakens as we get older. We find it more and more difficult to see the small things. And, though we may fight it, wearing glasses can be a help – our view becomes once again crystal clear, sharp and in focus. What a perfect metaphor for the life of a Christian!   ![LS kids praying at veterans chapel](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LS%20kids%20praying%20at%20veterans%20chapel.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=LS%20kids%20praying%20at%20veterans%20chapel.jpg)  [![Faith and Intellect as One](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MS%20bible.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/faith-and-intellect-as-one) ## [Faith and Intellect as One](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/faith-and-intellect-as-one) December 01, 2022 The motto of Mount Paran Christian school is, “A place where faith and intellect grow as one.” In Latin, it translates to, *Fides et intellectus simul unus.* It is on our crest, but more importantly, this principle is woven into the fabric of what, how, and why we teach and learn together at MPCS.   Saint Augustine, in the 4th century, was known to have said, “All truth is God’s truth.” Since the beginning, we, at MPCS, have wholeheartedly endorsed this ideal and the theological position that affirms there is and can be no separation of the sacred and the secular in life and learning. In other words, we believe in the immersion of biblical understanding and truth in all we do and in all we study.   ![MS bible](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MS%20bible.jpg?width=845&height=475&name=MS%20bible.jpg)  [![3 Reasons Why I Believe in Christian Schools](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/preschooler%20praying.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3-reasons-why-i-believe-in-christian-schools) ## [3 Reasons Why I Believe in Christian Schools](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/3-reasons-why-i-believe-in-christian-schools) January 06, 2022 Why do I believe so strongly in Christian education, and particularly in independent Christian schooling? There are numerous reasons, starting with my perspective on education in general, specifically, K-12 education. Beyond that, the benefits of an independent Christian education for today’s learners are eternal.   ![Preschool worship](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Preschool%20worship.jpg?width=845&name=Preschool%20worship.jpg)  [![Becoming a Thinking Christian](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/blogDSC03571.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/becoming-a-thinking-christian) ## [Becoming a Thinking Christian](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/becoming-a-thinking-christian) June 24, 2021 Have you ever been asked a question about your faith you just could not answer? Have you ever questioned your own beliefs and wondered if what you were taught was actually truth? I can gladly say “yes” to both questions because, in so doing, I have come to realize that I must improve my understanding of my faith, of my beliefs, and of my intellectual understanding of Christianity.    ![blogDSC03571](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/blogDSC03571.jpg?width=845&name=blogDSC03571.jpg)  [![CommUNITY: How Do We Love One Another?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/blogMPCS8020.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-to-love-one-another) ## [CommUNITY: How Do We Love One Another?](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-to-love-one-another) September 23, 2020 *As a continuation of the "Campaign for CommUNITY",  Head of High School and Assistant Head of School Tawanna Rusk shares her thoughts on how to best #LoveOneAnother — the theme for this school year.

That no matter how hard you tried you could never measure up? Every day, we face expectations from parents, teachers, coaches, and we often fall short. Our rooms are never clean enough, our grades are never good enough, our efforts on the field are never strong enough. As much as we aim to please, we are caught in a constant battle of meeting demands that seem to be just out of our reach. We are left with the tension of trying harder or simply giving up. However, the anniversary of the Reformation reminds us of the hope we have. ##### ![reformation bibleclassLR-0251.jpg](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reformation%20bibleclassLR-0251.jpg?width=881&height=444&name=reformation%20bibleclassLR-0251.jpg) [![Worried About Children](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/kidsgroupLR-0315.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/worried_about_children) ## [Worried About Children](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/worried_about_children) September 25, 2017 I had an occasion recently to review an article written by the American Culture and Faith Institute which has, as its sole purpose, to educate, motivate, and activate Christians to engage in cultural transformations in ways that are consistent with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The article, entitled “Americans Worried About Children,” provided a sobering analysis of a 2017 survey, which was conducted among adults in the United States. It attempted to identify the impact of the contemporary culture on the lives of our children and the views of Christians in regard to this phenomenon. ##### ![kidsgroupLR-0315.jpg](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kidsgroupLR-0315.jpg?width=870&height=368&name=kidsgroupLR-0315.jpg) [![Biblical Worldview](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/bibleglassesKyle-101792-edited.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/biblical_worldview) ## [Biblical Worldview](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/biblical_worldview) August 02, 2017 ##### **2 Corintians 10:4-5** *For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
