Overview
Upper Valley Christian School came into existence in 1979 as a ministry of the Leavenworth Church of the Nazarene because Pastor Jim West had a vision to begin a Christian School in the Upper Valley.
It began with just 20 students, and has grown to minister to 135 or so children and their families a year.
In those years, we have had the opportunity to minister to around 600 students.
Some of them have subsequently graduated from college, gone to the mission field, medical school, the military or other fields of endeavor.
We have even had our first second-generation student enroll in 1994-95.
The River Academy is a liberal arts Christian school, grades PreK (4s) through graduation.
The River Academy has a family-like atmosphere built on trust, grace, mutual respect and an absolute love for learning.
