“The 40+ year track record MCS has in excellence of education and healthy development – body, soul, and spirit – is remarkable. The world and the South Bay need institutions like MCS not only for the benefit of the children and their families, but for society at large. Two of our children went to MCS, with decidedly positive results for our family.”

I have dedicated the past 21 years to Christian ministry here in the Bay Area and I'm convinced that living according to the commandments of Jesus Christ - “the discipled-lifestyle” provides the best framework for thriving in the midst of a fallen world. Kids spend the majority of their waking hours at school and MCS brings healthy alignment with the values and objectives parents teach their kids at home, with what they learn and observe in church with the education our children receive at school.
I joined the board to help raise the profile of MCS at our local churches and to grow the community engagement of MCS students and parents through volunteering and service projects.
