Valley Christian Middle School in particular poses an added challenge as students experience a once-in-a-lifetime metamorphosis toward the adult world.
Early adolescence is a time of transition, a time of questioning, a time of openness, and a time of decision Our students with young minds and growing faiths are attempting to establish themselves as Christian young people living in a secular world.
At Valley Christian Middle School, we have developed a program that addresses the needs and concerns of middle school students, and promotes continued growth in all areas of their lives.
