Mount Moriah Christian School (MMCS) was founded in 1985 as an outreach ministry of the Mount Moriah Church. The first preschool class started with 19 students and has since grown to be one of the largest private schools in Fayette County. The school is dedicated to providing a family-friendly, Bible-based, Christ-centered education to its students. MMCS serves grades preschool through 5th at its South Campus located at 30 Church Street, Smithfield, PA and grades 6th through 12th at its North Campus located at 690 Morgantown RD, Uniontown, PA. MMCS serves students from across 5 school districts including Albert Gallatin, Brownsville, Laurel Highlands, Southeastern Greene and Uniontown.

The School is on MISSION to encourage, equip, and energize students to LOVE Jesus and others, GROW in knowledge and wisdom, and LIVE the Kingdom life. We desire to equip students with the necessary resources to build confidence, achieve academic excellence, and develop skills that translate to success.

The teaching of academics is only one part of a student’s education. Spiritual and moral values, proper attitudes, respect for authority and for the rights and feelings of others are also important in training students to become mature Christian leaders. Education that includes only the academics is inferior as it lacks the foundation for ongoing achievement. The foundation for moral and spiritual teaching is the Word of God, the Bible.

God has given each child to his/her parents, who, in turn, are entrusting our school with a very vital part of his/her training. We consider our share in the education of this student to be a sacred trust and are committed to the success of each and every student. Each student is a human being endowed with God-given abilities and unique personality. We recognize that each student will respond differently to that which is presented; however, ALL of them will be exhorted to produce to their fullest potential.
