At the end of the year, three of our 6th grade students, Alessio, Finn and Shields, competed in the International SeaPerch Challenge, a global remotely operated vehicle (ROV) competition held at the University of Maryland. This year, 210 teams from across the country and around the world participated in this tournament and our Warriors did not disappoint! Their team finished in the top 6 in the mission category and 21st overall out of 88 middle school teams.
MGCS has the top middle school ROV program in the area and this is third straight year we have had the #1 middle school team advance to the international finals. Have a student interested in underwater robotics, engineering, coding and problem-solving? ROV could be for you!
Way to go, Warriors!

Our students thrive in a nurturing Christian environment where we offer an excellent academic program
Established in 1982, Myrtle Grove Christian School is a fully accredited Christian school serving students from preschool to 8th grade. MGCS is affiliated with Myrtle Grove Evangelical Presbyterian Church but is comprised of students and faculty from over 50 churches in the Wilmington area. Over the years we have earned a reputation for a rigorous academic program as well as a spiritual climate th
The Warrior has officially shed his armor… and soon he’ll earn his wings!
Our secret is finally out — for the past four years, MGCS alumni Owen Arnette has faithfully served as the MGCS Warrior. From festivals, pep rallies, graduations, and the first day of school, many of you have unknowingly high-fived, cheered with, and made memories alongside Owen in the Warrior suit.
Now, we invite you to celebrate and cheer him on as he graduates from Coastal Christian High School and prepares for his next adventure as a UNCW Seahawk!
Owen, thank you for the spirit, joy, and school pride you brought to our community. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior!

Our 5th graders are officially published authors! 📚✨
This year, our students poured their hearts into writing original poems and bringing their words to life through beautiful illustrations. What began as a classroom project has now become something truly special—a published book filled with creativity, imagination, and expression.
Each page reflects not only their talent, but also their courage to share their thoughts, their voices, and their God-given gifts. 💫
We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and creativity that went into this project. What an incredible accomplishment at such a young age!
“Let everything you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14
Congratulations to our young authors—we can’t wait to see how God continues to use your gifts to inspire others! 📖

Parent’s Day 2026 at MGCS 🤍
What a gift it was to welcome our families onto campus for another incredible Parent’s Day!
From the moment parents stepped into classrooms, it was clear—God is at work in the hearts and minds of our students. The day was filled with meaningful moments, joyful learning, and opportunities to see firsthand what makes MGCS so special.
A special shoutout to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders! It was wonderful to see them set such a positive example as they led the lower school STEM activities.
The 4th-grade Wax Museum once again stole the show, bringing history to life in the most memorable way!
Thank you, MGCS families, for partnering with us, encouraging your children, and being such an important part of all God is doing here. We are so grateful to celebrate these moments together!

Our 6th graders spent Friday, April 17th serving our community with a beach sweep at Carolina Beach! 🌊
In partnership with Parks & Recreation, students eagerly worked together to help keep our beaches clean and beautiful. It was the perfect day to be outside, caring for God’s creation and putting their science learning into action.
This hands-on experience tied directly into their 6th grade science unit and was a meaningful way to prepare for Earth Day (tomorrow)! 🌎
We’re so proud of these students for serving with joy and stewardship!
