Overview
Valley Christian Academy offers classes for Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grades.
Our purpose is to provide the best education and creative opportunities possible for each child in a Christ-centered environment.
Our teachers are carefully selected and our classes have a low student/teacher ratio with teachers' assistants.
We provide a quality program that is both challenging and stimulating and is designed to give the students opportunity to broaden their growth and learning experiences while meeting the needs of the whole child - spiritual, mental and physical.
Even though Valley Christian Academy is a small private school they still offer many outside of school field trips to increase learning and exposure to other sources of knowledge and information.
Vision Statement Students from Calvary Chapel Christian School will exhibit the qualities of believers in Jesus Christ who love Him and desire to submit to His Lordship in every aspect of their lives.
Mission Statement It is our mission, as a Christ-centered school, to challenge our students academically, spiritually, socially, and physically to become servant-leaders who serve God, honor their families, and embrace Christ`s call to transform the world.
Philosophy of Education We believe that parents are God`s primary provision for nurturing and educating children [Deuteronomy 6:6-9].
It is our desire to come alongside and supplement the home, serving as a representative of parents in matters of education, ministry, and discipline. We believe a strong home/school relationship is essential.
