Mountain Mission School serves as a home, school and church for more than 150 children (many of them with us year-round). We serve children residentially from nursery to high school graduates! Our school is ACSI accredited for grades K-12. Over the years, students from more than 70 countries have sought safety, security, and refuge at MMS.
