In this competitive contest, MCS was honored in 11 categories for its school, teachers, staff, and community involvement. Milpitas Christian School is a non-denominational Christian preschool, elementary school, and middle school.
“We know that children reach their God-given potential when they feel loved, cared for, and have a sense of belonging,” explained Clark Gilbert, Head of School/Principal for Milpitas Christian School. “We believe that with Christ at the center of everything we do, our children will receive a transforming experience so that they will in turn, transform their world in the years to come.”
EXCEPTIONAL PRESCHOOL
Among the 37 state-licensed preschools in the city, the Milpitas Christian Preschool was voted the “best preschool” by readers of the Milpitas Post newspaper.
“We are honored that so many families choose MCS to care for their children,” explained Sheila Tanimura, Preschool Director for Milpitas Christian Preschool. “Our teachers and staff enjoy providing a loving, Christian environment that helps each child to grow intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.”
Milpitas Christian Preschool is licensed by the state of California (Facility #430709420) to offer part-time and full-time programs for children from 2-years to 4-years old.

ACCLAIMED TUTORING / EDUCATIONAL CENTER
For elementary and middle school students, the Resource Center at MCS is a place where students can receive homework help or build study skills they’ll need to be successful in learning and in life. Students with mild to moderate learning disabilities will also find support and services. Gifted students will appreciate the additional enrichment offered by the Renaissance Club for highly qualified students in grades 3 through 8.
“By helping students feel treasured, supported and validated, we offer an encouraging environment where the love for learning can be fostered,” described Kathy Yao, Director of Student Academic Services for Milpitas Christian School. “Our priority is to help students feel treasured, supported and validated--without that, learning cannot take place.”
