Pros:--Being a small school means that changes can be made much more quickly and efficiently, in order to meet student needs, with less waiting due to bureaucracy.--The administration values staff, which means that teachers are there because they want to be there. Zero abuse, zero politics.--Spiritual support is generously provided for students by church staff. Many times, the pastor of the host church (Deer Run Church of Christ) will provide a listening ear to troubled students.--Small class sizes means more attention for students.Cons:--Sometimes short-staffed; staff wear many hats.--Lack of resources that public schools have, such as transportation, sports or cafeteria lunches.I see growth on the horizon for this diamond in the rough.
This school is absolutely wonderful. My children have been going to the school for a few years and they love it! They really care about the childrens education and put God first place. If your looking for a school that offers way more than the local districts this is it!
One of the best decisions I ever made for my children. So helpful in the school of choice voucher process and the environment is so much better than the public school environment was.
My daughter attended Michiana Christian School from 1st through 6th grade. The experience was wonderful! Although she is now a high school graduate, I still often think back of her time at MCS. I would highly recommend this school!
