Mount Pisgah Christian School was founded in 1986 by Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church with the goal of providing an enriching program for students in a Christian environment.[4]
The school opened with 70 preschool students and has rapidly grown and expanded. In 1991, construction began on a new Lower School to house the burgeoning student population and quickly grew to include a Middle and Upper School. It wasn't until 2001 that Mount Pisgah began offering a high school education.[5] Fourteen years later, Mount Pisgah has made significant upgrades in its short history. The most recent upgrade consisted of a new education building, Geier Hall.[6] Mount Pisgah now offers a premier preschool, both half and full day programs, as well as Junior Kindergarten through twelfth grade.[4]
Mount Pisgah Christian School includes three campuses, located at the major intersection of Old Alabama and Nesbit Ferry Roads in Johns Creek, Georgia, plus the Patriot Athletic Campus on Brumbelow Road.[7]
