Mount Paran Christian
School Expansion Marietta, Georgia • 69 acres
Mount Paran Christian School exceeded its 1,000 student capacity on its new campus, which opened in 2003, in three short years. The school administration revisited its goals in terms of appropriate capacity within its four school divisions.
The Preschool and Lower School were not affected; however capacity increases were deemed desirable in both the Middle School and High School. Randall-Paulson was asked to update the original master plan to accommodate over 1,300 students and to complete the development of the athletic fields program.
The updated plan calls for:
• Doubling capacity of the High
School to 400 students including
new classrooms and labs, 1,500-
seat gymnasium, 400-seat lecture
hall, dining area, chorus, and
dance program space.
• Expansion of the Middle School to
300 students with new classrooms
for Bible, Art, Music, and
Foreign Language.
• Development of a Theater/Chapel
with 500 seats for use in school
assemblies and performing arts.
• Football stadium seating 1,500 to
accommodate the school’s new
football program to be located at
current track and field.
• Separate properly sized High
School Soccer Field with
spectator seating.
• Additional practice fields for
football, soccer, and baseball.
• Expanded parking and new entry
to Stilesboro Road.
The next phase will provide for the additional High School and Middle School education capacity, expanded athletic fields, and parking.
