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.

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.

As a parent of four students and an alum, I am so appreciative of the faithful ministry of Valley Christian School. 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.

As soon as we walked in the door, this school felt like home. My husband and I visited a few schools in the area when our oldest was ready to start kindergarten, and we loved the community feeling at VCS. When I showed up to an event with my kindergartner, preschooler, and baby, several of the older students made conversation with me and my kids and generally helped us all feel welcome. That speaks to the kind of character that this school nurtures. These kids are already shining their light!

My teachers knew me so well and chose to get to know me. Some teachers went as far as inviting my entire class over for pizza and games. VCS was a community where teachers were intentional, students felt included, and had a sense of belonging.

My favorite part is the parent/teacher relationship and how welcome they make you feel. You truly feel like you are involved and not just someone at the front gate picking up after school.
