Delaware Valley Classical School

As an alumnus, I am thrilled to have my own children at DVCS. My husband and I call DVCS a "hidden gem." It is a privilege to watch our children grow in their faith, education, work ethic, self-control, and virtue. I cannot believe how rich the educational feast is every week! My husband and I look forward to supporting them as they grow through the classical model and become thinking, poised adults who serve the world for Christ.

The classical model recognizes that education is much more than knowledge acquisition and job training. Classical education is preparation to live a wise, virtuous life, with the capacity to think critically, communicate well, and influence broadly. So many families attest, and the data confirms (e.g., the Good Soil Report), that relative to other forms of primary education (including public, traditional Christian, and religious homeschooling), classical Christian education produces greater academic achievement in college, confidence, and gratitude in life, time spent in service of others, and commitment to the Christian life. Delaware Valley Classical School excels at the classical model and is God`s provision to those of us blessed to be a part of its community.

My two sons start to attend school this year after I learned Classical Christian Education. The kids have already loved the school and their academic, character, and faith have improved significantly in one month. It`s a good way to educate kids.

Delaware Valley is a wonderful K-12 school focussed on developing the student as a whole person. The faculty and staff truly care about the students and seek to partner well with parents in the education of their children. The community of families is warm and you will feel welcomed no matter what age your kids are when they join. The quality of the graduates stands out, as the school produces well-rounded graduates equipped to excel in all aspects of life.

Best kept secret in Delaware! We were interested in this school long before our children could even attend school and DVCS has not disappointed. This school has strengthened our children's love for Christ and we have received many compliments on our children's manners and intelligence. We also like how DVCS requires your involvement as a parent so you truly feel like partners in educating your child vs what public schools are trying to do now.

We were drawn into the school community before our children even reached school age, and are now almost 20 years into our journey. Our children have benefited from the challenging academics, the wide variety of opportunities for athletics, music, and the arts, and other activities like the Science Olympiad, but most importantly, from the beautiful loving investment of the faculty and staff into their lives. It has prepared them well for college and for living out a thoroughly biblical worldview.

We were unfamiliar with classical education before coming to DVCS. Classical education has both enriched our lives and has continued to be a part of our lives since both of our sons are now teaching at their local classical school. DVCS is not a commodity, but rather a community.

Delaware Valley Classical School has changed our lives! I cannot even begin to express how deep of an education my three children are receiving in this intimate, loving, Christ-centered learning environment. The academics are presented with joyful rigor. The academic and behavioral expectations are high, but all is done with such love and true happiness. My children have thrived by being challenged to reach their highest potential, both as students and as Christians. The teachers are so dedicated to their students, and DVCS is like a welcoming family since we have no other family here in Delaware. This was my children's first experience of school, as we had homeschooled prior. It was the best decision we could have made for our children to take a leap of faith and try out DVCS. They formed wonderful friendships, were enriched by the music and Latin programs, participated in acts of community service, and were challenged to learn how to present in front of an audience with various public speaking opportunities. If you are looking for a classical education for your children and value the great books, poetry, bible memorization, and a truly loving yet challenging school environment, there is no other school like Delaware Valley Classical School in the tri-state area.

I'm the grandfather of three wonderful grandchildren. They have been given an incredible opportunity to learn in a loving and nurturing environment. Their teachers are excellent and caring. The things they are learning will put them "light years" ahead of students not getting a classical education. Most importantly, honoring and loving Jesus Christ is the main focus, not an afterthought.

We love DVCS! Teachers are fully bought in and genuinely care. Students are polite, well-behaved, and held accountable for their actions. We believe our children are in such a safe and loving environment at this school. The curriculum at DVCS is challenging but very rewarding and we know that our children will be well-equipped to enter their college years because of this!

Delaware Valley Classical School is an elite academic experience and the area`s best-kept secret. No other school in the area compares. Once we saw what DVCS had to offer, we quickly uprooted our family to be a part of it. Many families, unable to make a similar change of location, commute over an hour one way. Having been a part of the school community for over three years now, we can say with certainty that choosing DVCS was the best decision we ever made for our family. This school is truly set apart for God and is uncompromising in its pursuit of knowledge, self-discipline, and virtue. Our children are flourishing in the encouraging, rigorous, and grace-based atmosphere, and the good work has only begun. We look ahead at upper-class students and we see teenagers who exemplify the school`s core values: excellence, wisdom, joy, and gratitude. DVCS graduates are uniquely equipped to rightly order their lives and lead and influence wherever the Lord leads them next. This is the education you wish you had.

DVCS is an excellent school. It is an academically rigorous school that teaches children how to think, and not what to think. The teachers and faculty do a wonderful job of creating a culture of learning, as well as the feeling of belonging to one big family.

What is truth? As parents, we seek to build a biblical foundation for our kids to answer that question. The teachers and staff at Delaware Valley Classical School help to reinforce the truths of God's Word in every area of their education. From the curriculum to sports, from music to service and even discipline, truth is being taught and lived out daily. I see how each student is seen for their unique makeup, is encouraged to think critically, and use their gifts to respond to the world we live in. DVCS is equipping our kids from the very seeking God's truth and how to use it as a firm foundation.

Great School. Loving teachers, staff and student body with amazing academic results for my son poured into my son from 3rd grade through 12th grade.

Amazing school with amazing results. My son started in 3rd grade in this school.. He was behind in public schools. He graduated 12th grade ahead of his public school peers with 1.5 years of college credit. More importantly, he was shown God's love by teachers, staff and fellow students, which is the heartbeat of the school.

Delaware Valley Classical School is an excellent school. DVCS has taught my children to be godly, young adults. It prepared them to be well-qualified for the rigor and independence of college.
