Valley Christian Schools, in San Jose, California, was founded in 1960 and has grown into one of the largest independent K-12 Christian school systems in the United States. 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) & Student Life Center.
Its unique Conservatory of the Arts opportunities for students passionate about music, theatre, dance, visual arts (painting and photography, and cinematography to work closely with top faculty to reach great heights of success. Our music groups are known throughout the U.S. for their excellence, our marching band was invited to march in the prestigious Rose Parade in January, 2013, and our theatre awards caused Stage Direction Magazine to say Valley Christian High School is “one of the 6 best high school theatre programs in the United States.”
The Applied Math, Science and Engineering Institute [AMSE] allows students of high ability to enjoy unique challenges. An example of such an opportunity is the International Space Station project, in which Valley Christian students pioneered the first-ever high school Cube Lab™ experiment place aboard the Space Station in January, 2011, with four more experiments in 2012. With a newly built satellite tracking station on its campus, VCHS plans to be the first high school in the world to design and send up its own satellite in 2013. Valley Christian Junior High was just awarded in 2011 as an Intel School of Distinction and Intell Star Innovator for its math education.
Valley Christian High School is a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon “No Child Left Behind” school and was just voted “Best High School” in the 2011 annual survey of parents by Bay Area Parents magazine. In addition, 54 sports teams allow students to compete and develop character at the highest levels of high school athletics.
Daily Bible classes, weekly chapel services and many community service events give students a loving environment in which to learn more about the Christian faith, and to become excited about the eternal perspective Jesus Christ brings to their lives.
