About Morning Star Christian School

Morning Star Christian School (MSCS) was established in 1982 to serve the Central Oregon community with Christ-centered education. MSCS is a Nursery-8th grade non-denominational Christian school offering small class sizes, STEM focused learning, project based learning by Project Lead the Way, and extracurricular activities ranging from the arts to snowboarding.

Jesus refers to himself as the --bright, morning star- (Revelation 22:16). The wise men came from the east following -His Star- (Matthew 2:2). At Morning Star Christian School, it is our desire to focus our student's attention on the example of Christ, His words, His attitudes, and His actions.
