OUR SCHOOL
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.”
Luke 2:52
Our Mission and Vision
The mission of Valley Christian School in partnership with each parent is to develop Christ-centered thinkers, with a heart for God, equipped to serve and excel in all aspects of life.
​
Our mission is realized through the vision set forth in our biblical training, the academic program, extracurricular activities, service projects and day-to-day encounter between faculty, staff and students.
Our vision is to grow students who are developing as Jesus did in Luke 2:52, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."
Christian Education
At the heart of the Christian philosophy of education is the reality that God, who revealed Himself as a Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is at the center of all life.
God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things; He maintains control over his entire universe and is the Source of all truth. Because of sin man does not naturally seek God and fails to relate himself and his knowledge to God, the Source of all wisdom. The Bible is the authority by which all knowledge is measured.
God creates persons having physical, mental, and spiritual qualities. Christian education is committed to addressing the needs of the whole child by creating an environment designed to assist children in achieving their God-given potential.
The Bible places primary responsibility for the training and education of children upon their parents. The Christian School defines its role, not as a substitute for, but as an extension of home and church.
