Stepping Into Life, Leadership, and Lasting Faith

High school at Valley Christian School is a season of sharpening – academically, spiritually, and personally. As students move through grades 9–12, they are challenged to grow in independence, take ownership of their learning, and step into leadership. With a biblical worldview at the core of every subject, students are equipped to think critically, lead with integrity, and pursue God’s calling for their lives.

Guiding students toward maturity, leadership, and a future built on faith.

How Does VCS High School Prepare Students for Their Future?

Valley Christian High School offers a rigorous academic program alongside deep spiritual formation. Students study core subjects like math, science, English, history, foreign language, and Bible, with options for honors, AP, dual credit, and trade-focused courses.

Beyond academics, students lead in chapel, serve in the community, and participate in athletics, arts, and student government. Through everything, they are developing the character and confidence needed for adulthood. Whether heading toward college, a career, or vocational training, every student is guided to discover their God-given purpose and graduate prepared to lead, serve, and thrive.

VCS welcomed our kids. Every student is noticed, they're not just a number. VCS' curriculum is built around Jesus. To partner with a school that emphasizes that is rewarding.

VCS prepared me so much for college and life. I was amazed at how unprepared a lot of my college classmates were. Students reached out to me to help write their papers, proof their papers.

My husband and I are constantly sharing our experiences we've had at VCS. It's a blessing to my family. From the moment we walked into VCS, it's so apparent that God comes first.

The school provides a solid biblical foundation, encourages students to live a life of service, pushes students to strive for academic excellence, and is full of loving caring staff who have blessed my family immensely. It's more like a family than an organization.

Mr. & Mrs. Meyer showed me a love for Science and showed me how to see the Lord in Nature and Science. The world tries to use science to disprove God. My teachers used science to prove the existence of God.

When we enrolled our son as a freshman, his writing and spelling skills tested at a 6th grade level due to a combination of learning disabilities. Within 2 years he was testing at average level for his age. He is about to graduate having made honor roll his entire senior year, and was readily accepted to his university of choice. VCS made it possible for our son to have a level of success and opportunity for a future we never dreamed was possible before.
