A Modern Approach to Band
Students who wish to play a band instrument are paired with a professional teacher that specializes in that instrument. Private lessons are held on campus via a weekly live remote lesson. No need to drive your child anywhere for lessons!
Although MCCS subsidizes the lesson fees, parents are responsible for the remaining fees which are paid quarterly.
Scripture
Our daily Bible studies use Purposeful Design Bible textbooks. Students engage in weekly scripture memorization, learning about Jesus, and how to apply Biblical truths to their own lives.
A weekly chapel is held each Wednesday. Guests from supporting area church bodies rotate leading the chapel.
