Partnering with Families in Home-Based Education

Valley Christian School supports Christian families who have chosen to homeschool by offering academic class options and enrichment opportunities for students in grades K–12. Whether families are seeking core classes, electives, testing, or social connection, our program provides supplemental education grounded in a biblical worldview without compromising the unique strengths of home-based learning.

A supportive bridge between home and school

How Does VCS Support Homeschool Families?

The VCS Homeschool program allows parents to retain full responsibility for their child’s education while accessing the resources of an established Christian school community. With Elementary and Secondary class days, students are challenged in academic courses, have chapel services, participate in electives or athletics, and complete annual academic testing through VCS. Our staff is available to provide guidance, accountability, and encouragement, ensuring families feel supported in their homeschool journey. From Kindergarten through 12th grade, homeschool students can grow academically and spiritually while remaining rooted in the flexibility of home education.

Ways We Support Homeschooling Education

Academic Course Enrollment

Homeschool students enroll in on-campus classes at VCS — with the options of one or two days a week — while continuing oversight of their core education at home. Elementary courses include Bible, History and Science and Secondary course offerings are Bible, History, Science, Math, English & Electives.

Fine Arts and Electives

Allowing students to explore creativity and build well-rounded skills in a classroom setting, homeschool elementary students have enrichment opportunities in pe, music, drama and technology and secondary students have several choices of elective class opportunities.

Standardized Testing Services

VCS offers annual standardized testing to help families track academic progress and meet homeschool accountability requirements.

Spiritual Formation

Homeschool students have regular chapel services throughout the year and participate in other spiritual life and service opportunities, reinforcing a Christ-centered worldview.

Athletic Participation

Eligible homeschool students can join VCS athletic teams, encouraging physical development, teamwork, and school community involvement.

Community and Social Connection

By engaging in classes, events, and extracurriculars, homeschool students gain social experiences in a Christ-centered environment—without losing the flexibility of home education.

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.

I was able to take dual credit classes at VCS for college credit. The Writing and English programs at VCS prepared me for college. My professors are all really happy with my writing. Growing up in a Christian school environment was really good for me. It helped solidify my faith.
