Life education upon Christian principles
As a Christian school, we teach students to become truly human and have the eagerness to serve others by following the example of Jesus' love, his passion, and sacrifice on Calvary. We treat each of our students as made in the image and likeness of God.
Life and Whole Person Education
- We provide students with an all-rounded education that includes areas of spiritual, moral, Intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development.
- On top of the knowledge-based education, we believe that life education plays an indispensible role in secondary schooling.

Strategies to implement Life Education in MKP
Life education can best be conducted through...
- a whole-school approach;
- daily infusion like morning devotions, assemblies, religious studies, class periods, Liberal Studies, MKP Daily, etc
