Mariners Christian School

The school is just average I have had a more diversified experience at other private school. Yes many of the children lack in kindness and the teachers seems not to address these issues. They also lack the attention to children who need a little extra help academically or those who are advanced as they are sucked up by lots of kid drama. Being in the classroom has enlightened me to many of the shortcomings of this school not the school we were sold. Not bad, every school has their issues just not what were were expecting or promised.

My family has had the best experience at Mariners Christian School for the past 2 years. My son has excelled in reading and math, and his knowledge of our Lord. We have connected with so many families at MCS, and have also grown in our faith and love in our Lord! As far as "bullying and mean girls," MCS has addressed incidents last year and this year by teachers and by the principal. I know this for a fact, my son keeps me informed. My son has never encountered this behavior, but he did learn about it at Chapel a couple of Fridays ago. We are involved with our kids, teachers and other families, so we are always on top of things. We love MCS, and would recommend it to anyone!

Lots of changes in recent years and not for the better a down hill slide over the last 5 years or so. I have really noticed a huge change from my oldest child's experience to my youngest. Quality of instruction is worse, mean girl and bullying out of hand and general disrespect from parents and students towards each other and staff. Glad we are finally out of there and in high school.

MCS is a wonderful learning environment! Every teacher is amazing, and the Christ-centered curriculum is priceless in character development! The family involvement is unmatched, and the values of many of the families truly revolve around a Christian lifestyle. We couldn't be happier with this school!

Mariner's is a great school. They are very caring about all the students and truly embrace the whole child and the entire learning experience. You are greeeted by a smiling staff everyone morning and the principal stands at carpool and waves good bye to the children every afternoon. It's a great school!

My son attended Mariners for 9 years. It was a wonderful experience. The teachers really do care about the children!! There was a tremendous amount of family involvement. A lot of the families have established relationships so you sometimes feel like an outsider. Teaching of God's word and living it out by the staff is stellar!

MCS is an amazing school. So much love, thought, care, and knowledge goes into planning the teaching curriculum and is further extended to each student personally. I graduated in 1999 and not only did I have more knowledge on subjects once I hit high school, but the friendships that I formed with my classmates and teachers are still greatly in tact and I am now ending my freshman year at a Christian College. MCS played such a big part in my life that I have gone back to coach sport teams that I once excelled on and to help out in the daycare that once helped me. Their excitement to find out how you are doing now and/or how they can improve is like no other school I have ever known or even heard of.

Our daughter, Kristin, attended MCS from 2nd-8th grade and received a superb academic, moral and Christian education. She was taught how to study, write exceptionally and work hard. She also was taught to be a caring individual with excellent moral values. It was great to see our home values carried over in the school setting. The middle school/Junior High Faculty were excellent in all areas of life's learning. Kristin was well prepared for life in the 'real world' of public high school and is now doing very well at University of California at Berkeley - Many thanks to Mrs. Letterman, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Wilder, Ms. Tulley and all the other many special and excellent teachers and people at Mariners Christian School - Our child is now a successful, happy and fulfilled young adult with very high moral standards that are also a part of our home.
