Middle Tennessee Christian School in Murfreesboro, TN | Children`s and Teens` Education

Middle Tennessee Christian School

Middle Tennessee Christian School was organized in 1960 and received its charter from the State of Tennessee on December 9, 1960. The purpose given the charter was:
The building and maintenance of a school and/or schools to provide educational opportunities; particularly the teaching of the Bible; to providing a minimum of one class period per day of instruction in the Bible as the inspired word of God for every child enrolled and to emphasize the Bible in every course taught; to provide for Christian influence and environment in every phase of the school’s activities.
A twenty-five acre campus was purchased on Lebanon Road near the airport. After incorporation, modern brick buildings were constructed in the fall of 1962. MTCS operated as an elementary school with kindergarten through the eighth grade until 1975. At that time, the Board of Directors made the decision to add one grade a year until a high school was complete. The first senior class graduated in May of 1979.
MTCS was approved at its inception by the Tennessee State Department of Education. In December of 1978, we received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Our Mission:
Training for Eternity: To provide an education based on Christian values and academic excellence in a nurturing environment that will prepare students to become responsible, productive members of the home, church, and community.
We Believe:
- In the sovereignty of God, salvation through His son, Jesus Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit.
- That while MTCS is supported by and works closely with the church, it should function independently of the church.
- That MTCS exists to train its students for life on this earth and for everlasting life through Jesus.
- That the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that the school curriculum should include the study of the Bible as well as the study of the arts and sciences, all taught from a Christian perspective.
- That each student is a valued individual made in God’s image with unique spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs.
- That students should be prepared to be responsible and productive citizens in society and the church.
- That the board of directors, school personnel, parents, and students should work together to establish and foster a positive environment for learning.
- That teachers should vary instructional methods and assessment to meet individual needs.
- That positive relationships and mutual respect should be encouraged within the entire school community.
- That students should be provided appropriate opportunities for success through academic and co-curricular activities.
- That our students should graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in post-secondary education.
