About Mount Paran Christian School

Mount Paran Christian School provides exemplary pre-K3 through grade 12 academics in small classes; and we do it all with Christ at the center.

MPCS is a non-denominational, covenantal, college-preparatory school committed to excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts. Founded in 1976, MPCS is fully accredited (SAIS/Cognia/CESA). Our job is to prepare servant-leaders — in the classroom, on the ball field, on the stage, and ultimately in our community. 

Mount Paran Christian School has grown and expanded more than we could ever have asked or imagined since its formation in 1976. Since the humble start as the Early Learning Center off Mount Paran Road in Atlanta, the school's rapid growth continued to the Mount Paran Central location in Marietta in 1985. In 2003, Mount Paran Christian School moved to its permanent 68-acre campus location in the shadow of Kennesaw Mountain. 

MPCS has stayed true to its mission and, as a result, has been blessed by tremendous families in our community seeking a rigorous Christian education for their children. Enrollment now stands at more than 1,300 students and 1,000+ alumni. The impact of fusing faith and intellect within a PK-12 education has profoundly impacted His kingdom for eternity. 

MPCS is always interested in receiving applications and information regarding qualified and experienced teachers, office staff, and other support staff. Minimum requirements for a teaching position at MPCS are a Bachelor's Degree in the appropriate subject area and/or educational level, a valid Georgia teaching certificate for PK through eighth grade (eligibility for a Georgia teaching certificate will be considered), and a strong desire to teach in an environment such as MPCS provides.
