Monroe Christian School was founded in 1956 by a group of Christian men and women of the Christian Reformed Church desiring to be obedient to the command of God to "train up children in the Lord." The school started its first classes in a back room of the Christian Reformed Church.

It quickly outgrew those facilities, so four acres of land were purchased and a four-classroom building was constructed at our present location on Main Street in Monroe. Growth of the student body continued through the 1960's into the 1970's, so the school building was once again expanded; this time to eight classrooms. In the 1980's the school added kindergarten to its well-established first through eighth grade program. The early childhood education program (preschool) was added in 1989. In 1992, the school purchased an adjoining piece of property to accommodate even more growth.

After nearly 40 years, Monroe Christian School is still maintained by Christian men and women who desire to give children the opportunity to receive a Christ-centered education, based upon the infallible and inspired Word of God - the Bible.
