"Choosing a school isn’t just about test scores or uniforms—it’s about choosing what shapes your child’s heart, mind, and purpose. At Middletown Christian School (MCS), we don’t just educate; we disciple. Grounded in Seventh-day Adventist principles and fueled by Christ’s love, here’s how our approach prepares scholars for this life—and eternal life."
1. Faith Weaves Through Every Subject
(“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” —Colossians 3:23)
What This Looks Like:
Science Class: Explore God’s design through nature studies and stewardship projects (Hello, school garden!).
History Lessons: Discover how God’s hand moves through time, from ancient civilizations to modern missions.
Language Arts: Analyze literature through a biblical lens—even Charlotte’s Web sparks talks about sacrifice and love!
Adventist Connection:
"Like Ellen White emphasized, true education balances ‘the book of nature, the book of science, and the Scriptures.’"
Parent Tip: Ask your child: “Where did you see God in your lessons today?”
2. Character Matters as Much as Curriculum
(“Train up a child in the way he should go.” —Proverbs 22:6)
What This Looks Like:
Service Learning: Pack meals for local shelters, write letters to missionaries, or lead chapel for younger grades.
Conflict Resolution: Teach “WWJD?” before “I’m sorry,” fostering heart change over hollow apologies.
Role Models: Teachers pray with (not just for) scholars during tough moments.
Adventist Connection:
"Our ‘Educate for Eternity’ motto mirrors Adventist education’s focus on wholeness—mind, body, and spirit."
✨ Scholar Tip:
"Try this at home! When siblings or friends disagree, ask: ‘How can we solve this in a way that shows God’s love?’
3. We Prepare Scholars for the Real World—With Eternal Perspective
(“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed.” —Romans 12:2)
What This Looks Like:
Tech with Integrity: Teach responsible screen use (because faith doesn’t stop at the login screen).
Healthy Choices: Reinforce Adventist health principles through fun cooking classes and nature hikes.
Cultural Discernment: Equip students to defend their faith kindly (yes, even on TikTok).
Adventist Connection:
"Our ‘Total Member Involvement’ philosophy means even 1st graders practice sharing their faith through kindness projects."
💡 Parent Tip:
"Try a ‘Tech Check-In’ at dinner: Ask your child, ‘What made you feel close to God today—and what made it harder?’ (Then share your own answer too!)"
The Result? Confident, Compassionate Leaders
"MCS scholars don’t just memorize—they live God’s Word. You’ll see it in their:
Courage to stand for what’s right
Joy in serving others
Excitement to learn (yes, even math!)"*
See the Difference for Yourself!
