Monterrico Christian School is a ministry of the New Life Baptist Church (see History). The purpose of the school is to serve families in this upper class neighborhood by offering an excellent education in English immersion. The MCS staff is here to impact the lives of students and their families for eternity. Our support to school families is manifested principally in two ways - as educators partnering with Christians to help them rear their children in a godly manner and as ambassadors for Christ to the lost. Teachers can come down with little or no knowledge of Spanish yet still have a ministry with tremendous impact. The Lord has been pleased to use the ministry here to bring many students and several parents to Himself.

Staff Goals:
  • »To teach every subject in every grade level from a thoroughly biblical foundation.
  • »To inculcate in the students a desire to know God and to grow in Him.
  • »To instill in the students a love for learning and especially reading.
  • »To prepare students to successfully serve God the career to which He has called each one in this multicultural world.

History      MCS was founded in 2002 as a ministry of the Iglesia Bautista Vida Nueva de Monterrico (New Life Baptist Church of Monterrico) with one preschool class. The church had started in a house, but grew large enough to need another location. In 2000 the congregation was incredibly blessed with a building that had formerly housed a school with 500 students. The facilitiy currently houses the church, MCS, and a Bible institute.
      The student population has grown significantly each year as we have added at least one grade per year. In March 2008 we will add fifth grade and have approximately 115 students.
