Mission Statement
Mount Carmel Christian School exists to provide a quality curriculum, founded on academic excellence in a Christ-centered learning environment. Our educational program, based on Jesus' model in Luke 2:52, seeks to develop the child's growth in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. The application of this program lays a foundation for Biblically-based living in today's society.

History
Mount Carmel Christian School was founded in 1972 in Decatur, Georgia. The school relocated with the church in 1989 to its present location. MCCS is presently housed in an $11 million complex on 44 acres off of Highway 78 near Stone Mountain Park. The facilities include spacious classrooms, a state-of-the-art computer lab, a performing arts amphitheater, a science lab, a fully equipped gym, age-appropriate playgrounds, a baseball/softball complex and nature trails.

Governance
Mount Carmel Christian School has been in existence since 1972 as a mission of Mount Carmel Christian Church. The school is governed by a School Board appointed by the Board of Elders of Mount Carmel Christian Church. The School Board consists of parents, Christian businessmen and women, and Christian educators who are responsible for seeing that the mission of the school is fulfilled. This board sets policies for the school that are carried out by a qualified administration, faculty and staff.

Accreditation
MCCS is Accredited with Quality by the Georgia Accrediting Commission. The school is led by a qualified administration, and classes are taught by certified teachers who hold both bachelors and graduate degrees.

Our Strategy
Our educational program nurtures the whole child by facilitating mental, physical, spiritual, and intellectual growth.  A faculty and staff who are Christian role models, as well as certified professionals in their fields of teaching, guide this growth.  Christian values are taught and modeled in our classrooms, and Christian behavior is expected from each student in the classroom.  Harmony between the school and the home is encouraged through small student-teacher ratios that enable communication and cooperation between teachers and families.
