It was a founding member of the South Asian Inter-Scholastic Association (SAISA) in 1972, and was a highly regarded educational institution in Pakistan.

It was unused until the newly formed Murree Christian School started renovating and refurbishing the deconsecrated church.

Since the mid-1960s, not all students have been from missionary families; some are children of expatriate workers of diplomatic missions, non-governmental organisations, or multinational corporations in Pakistan.

Courses are taught in English, with supplementary classes for European and Asian native-language speakers as well as Urdu as a foreign language for students.

MCS was the smallest member of SAISA (the South Asia International Schools Association) with enrolment under 100 students after reopening in 2004.

[1] Murree Christian School was established primarily to meet the educational needs of the missionary community working in and around Pakistan.

Courses were adapted and extended as necessary in order to meet the varying needs of children from many different parts of the world.

When staff was available the school also offered English as a Second language as well as German, French, Urdu and Korean.
