Our Foundation

The purpose of Middletown Christian Schools is to offer a quality Bible-based, academic education and to develop Christian character in every student. The curriculum is designed to meet the education and spiritual needs of the students and provides general and college preparatory programs. It is not our purpose to duplicate or to compete with the program or activities of other educational systems. It is our goal to provide an education that is Christian in every respect.

Middletown Christian Schools is a premier Kindergarten through Twelfth-grade school in Southwest Ohio, providing academic excellence with a Christ-centered focus for its students. Through its facilities and faculty, Middletown Christian Schools is committed to sustained growth, while drawing its students and support from surrounding areas and supporting churches.
- Middletown Christian Schools Vision Statement

Philosophy

“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord” – Psalms 127:3

Middletown Christian Schools is committed to serve Christian families in the responsibility to train and educate their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The education of children is the prerogative of the parents and not of the state. As a ministry of Grace Baptist Church, Middletown Christian Schools serves as an extension of the Christian home in reinforcing the Biblical teachings of the home and the church. The doctrinal position of Middletown Christian Schools is that of its parent organization Grace Baptist Church. A copy of our Statement of Faith is available from the school or church office. We are the product of what we think, “For as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” (Proverbs23:7). Christian education has a separate and distinct philosophy. This philosophy is found inand based on the Bible. The Bible, God’s Word, is the foundation of Christian education. Education is either Christ-centered (based on the principles of the Bible) or it is humanistic (based on the thoughts of man). It cannot be both! Christian education rests upon the recognition that all truth is of God (John 17:17).  No concept can be true that conflicts with the statements of Scripture. Therefore, the Bible is the center of Middletown Christian Schools’ curriculum. It is not only the most important subject matter, but also the source of the principles determining the other subject matters. The presentation of Biblical truth is not confined to a single Bible class, but is integrated throughout the teaching of all subjects. 

Chapel

One of the most important times of the week is the chapel hour. Promptness and quiet attention will be indications that students are ready for a special time with the Lord. Each student should come to chapel prepared with an open heart and Bible, and be ready for God to speak to him.
