Since 1960, Valley Christian Schools’ “Quest for Excellence†has been evident both inside the classroom and out in the community. With its strong foundation of Christian Values, the school challenges students from kindergarten on up through high school to discover their God-given talents expressed in A3: Academic Excellence, Artistic Beauty, and Athletic Excellence. Accredited by both ACSI and WASC, Valley Christian takes pride in its top-notch facilities that are among the finest in California—two campuses, an extensive sports complex, and the new 46,000 square foot Conservatory of the Arts (music, theatre, dance and visual arts) center. The Applied Math, Science and Engineering Institute, embracing all grade levels, assists students of high ability to enjoy unique opportunities.
No other private school system in the South Bay Area has the breath of academic, extracurricular and spiritual growth offerings found in Valley Christian Schools, with each of these programs naturally feeding into the next level (elementary, junior high and high school) so that student achievement is maximized. Â
In addition, Valley Christian's emphasis on weaving a biblical worldview throughout all the academic coursework and extracurricular activities is quite unique.
