Did you know you have a unique opportunity to teach your child how to handle stress by modeling it for them? Our job as parents and educators is to encourage children to develop a passion for learning and a desire to push through life’s challenges, both inside and outside of the classroom. This can be achieved by empowering students to take ownership of their attitudes towards learning and performance, seeing failures as learning opportunities through the development of a “growth mindset.”     ![Growth Mindset LS kids thinking](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Growth%20Mindset%20LS%20kids%20thinking.jpg?width=844&height=564&name=Growth%20Mindset%20LS%20kids%20thinking.jpg) [![ParentEd.: Helping Students Boost Their Brain Capacity for Success](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MS%20boy%20computer.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/helping-students-boost-their-brain-capacity-for-success) ## [ParentEd.: Helping Students Boost Their Brain Capacity for Success](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/helping-students-boost-their-brain-capacity-for-success) November 10, 2022 Executive Functions are a collection of processes or interrelated functions responsible for guiding, directing, managing cognition, emotions, and behavior, particularly in novel problem solving situations1. The fact that Executive Functions may be improved by means of cognitive training is of particular importance in childhood and adolescence, because Executive Functioning is a strong predictor for various life outcomes, such as academic attainment, socioeconomic status, and physical health2. Read on to learn more about these crucial brain skills, how the brain develops, and what parents and teachers can do to help students strengthen their Executive Functioning skills.   ![MS boy computer](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MS%20boy%20computer.jpg?width=844&height=475&name=MS%20boy%20computer.jpg) [![How School Choice Programs Increase Educational Opportunities for Families](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/US%20girls.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-school-choice-programs-increase-educational-opportunities-for-families) ## [How School Choice Programs Increase Educational Opportunities for Families](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/how-school-choice-programs-increase-educational-opportunities-for-families) October 25, 2022 When it comes to choosing a school for their child, parents have many options: neighborhood public school, home school, charter school, online academy, independent school, or religious private school. Academic excellence is paramount in the decision. From an eternal perspective, a Christian education is invaluable, yet affording independent options can be challenging. The calling Christian educators have for providing students with an exceptional education within a uniquely Christ-centered environment makes it worth investigating. Nurturing and equipping students to honor God, love others, and walk in Truth is an investment that will last for eternity.   Chris Eppling, Vice President of Student Services at Truett McConnell University, a private, four-year university located in Cleveland, Ga., said, “The real question to investigate is not, ‘What will I get for the money I pay to have a Christian education?’ it is, ‘What will I forfeit if I do not invest in an education from a biblical worldview?’”   ![US girls](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/US%20girls.jpg?width=844&name=US%20girls.jpg) [![From the Teacher's Desk: Play is Learning Through the Arts](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MS%20drama%20class%20girls.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/play-is-learning-through-the-arts) ## [From the Teacher's Desk: Play is Learning Through the Arts](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/play-is-learning-through-the-arts) September 21, 2022 Many schools have great arts facilities, programming, performances, and faculty. The quality of arts in the metro Atlanta area is some of the best in the country. How, then, does a school separate itself uniquely from the rest? The answer for Mount Paran Christian School lies in the mission of the school and how it is lived out through the arts program. While most schools focus on students developing their skills to serve their personal performance goals, MPCS goes a step further, infusing the idea that God gives us gifts to be used to glorify Him. Faculty make all the difference in helping students understand that we bring glory to God when we love others as He loves us and to act as servant-leaders through the use of artistic gifts and skills.   ![MS drama class girls](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MS%20drama%20class%20girls.jpg?width=844&name=MS%20drama%20class%20girls.jpg) [![From the Teacher's Desk: 4 Tips to Capture the Minds of Your Students](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/AP%20biology%20students%20working.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-tips-to-capture-students-attention) ## [From the Teacher's Desk: 4 Tips to Capture the Minds of Your Students](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-tips-to-capture-students-attention) September 07, 2022 *Excellence* as a measure of quality in education is difficult to quantify. But, one might recognize it when setting foot into Dr. Bonnie Stephens’ high school science classroom at Mount Paran Christian School. Dr. Stephens, who received a B.S. in Applied Biology from Georgia Tech and a Ph.D. in Biology from Georgia State University, is known to enliven content for her classes. Here, she shares how she brings learning to life for her students.   ![AP biology students working](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AP%20biology%20students%20working.jpg?width=844&name=AP%20biology%20students%20working.jpg) [![5 Tips for Making the Middle to High School Transition](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/Middle%20school%20students%20group.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-tips-for-middle-to-high-school-transition) ## [5 Tips for Making the Middle to High School Transition](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/5-tips-for-middle-to-high-school-transition) August 24, 2022 While parents may shed a few tears when their kindergartener heads off to the first day of school, for students, the biggest transition in learning comes much later. Students often find that the move from middle school to high school is especially daunting. These rising freshmen are full of hopes and dreams, as well as fears and freedom. Here are five tips that can help any rising freshman make for a smooth transition into the high school years.   ![Middle school students group](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Middle%20school%20students%20group.jpg?width=844&name=Middle%20school%20students%20group.jpg) [![From the Teacher's Desk: What Families Should Expect](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/IMGL6247.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/from-the-teachers-desk-what-families-should-expect) ## [From the Teacher's Desk: What Families Should Expect](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/from-the-teachers-desk-what-families-should-expect) August 12, 2022 Between preschool and their senior year of high school, children grow, learn, and develop at an astounding rate. When families entrust their children to schools to partner in shaping the worldview of these future citizens, it is essential that the relationship between home and school be one of open communication and true partnership.    We all enter relationships with our own set of expectations, based on our personal experiences and values. The learning process requires effort from both the teacher and the student. What follows is a guide from the leaders at Mount Paran Christian School to help families navigate expectations from teachers, and vice versa, all with the ultimate aim to ensure the best possible outcomes for students.   ![IMGL6247](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMGL6247.jpg?width=844&name=IMGL6247.jpg) [![How to Prepare Today's Learners to be Tomorrow's Leaders](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/senior%20college%20day%20closeup%20crowd.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/prepare-todays-learners-to-be-tomorrows-leaders) ## [How to Prepare Today's Learners to be Tomorrow's Leaders](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/prepare-todays-learners-to-be-tomorrows-leaders) June 09, 2022 “...\[I\]f education is to succeed in its tasks, curriculum as its core should be restructured or repacked around the four pillars of learning: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together, and learning to be.” *-Zhou Nanzhao, Ph.D., Director, International Center of Teacher Education, East-China Normal University, and Advisor to the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO* Globalization. A 24/7 news cycle. The growing influence of social media. Ever-changing technological advances. These are but a few of the challenges facing today’s teachers and their students. While the field of education may find it challenging to keep pace with the rapid changes in communication and technology, all is not lost in equipping 21st-Century learners for future success. In addition to providing a strong educational foundation - to include learning important facts, reading, writing, and arithmetic - it is crucial, according to the UNESCO International Commission on Education, that education today needs to teach students to be lifelong learners.   ![Classof22 MPCS5766 for WW](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Classof22%20MPCS5766%20for%20WW.jpg?width=844&name=Classof22%20MPCS5766%20for%20WW.jpg) [![4 Benefits of Choosing a K-12 Independent School for Life](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/MOJO8895.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-benefits-choosing-k12-independent-school) ## [4 Benefits of Choosing a K-12 Independent School for Life](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/4-benefits-choosing-k12-independent-school) January 26, 2022 For families who have decided on an independent school education for their children, the private school choices seem endless. Options range from religious to secular, co-ed to single sex, day or boarding. One especially important consideration for families is the school’s organization – the grades/school levels offered. Schools vary from solely primary or secondary offerings to a combination of preschool through high school. For families choosing one school for their children’s entire academic experience, the benefits are many.   ![MOJO8895](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MOJO8895.jpg?width=844&name=MOJO8895.jpg) [![Letter to My Alma Mater: Servant-Leadership](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/hubfs/LegacxyLR-9415.jpg)](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/letter-to-alma-mater-servant-leadership) ## [Letter to My Alma Mater: Servant-Leadership](https://blog.mtparanschool.com/letter-to-alma-mater-servant-leadership) November 14, 2019   One of the many benefits of an independent school education is that school leadership has the freedom to choose curricula, which can include biblical teaching and religious discussions.
