Here at Village Christian School, we make it our focus and commitment each day to strengthen the character, academics, and self-worth of each of our students.
We strive our best to help our students learn in a smaller yet structured learning environment, allowing them to be productive and successful in ways they might not have been before.
For all these reasons, we see our mission statement as the following:“To provide a safe, caring, and therapeutic learning environment with highly qualified staff where students with behavioral, educational, and social challenges can best develop the skills and character necessary to rejoin their communities and families with success.”.

School Notes
Our Program...
Village Christian School was a private school established in 1994
though the diligent and faithful efforts of Dwight and Kitty
Hesson. It is located on the property owned and operated under the
auspice of Mid-Western Children’s Home. Although no longer a
private school, VCS it proud to open its doors today to students
with behavioral, emotional, and academic needs. The school is
still chartered by the Ohio Department of Education and is
accredited to give high school diplomas to every student who
successfully completes the requirements for graduation from the
12th grade. The school serves students 7th through 12th grade.
Students receive instruction in core courses, plus electives such
as health, home economics, speech and cultural research. The
school is staffed by a 100% highly qualified faculty. Students also
receive therapeutic services including group and individual
counseling, family counseling, and even community support and home
bound services.
Where we work...
Mid-Western Children’s Home shares its 167 acre campus with Village
Christian School (VCS). The complex includes 2 basketball
gymnasiums, baseball and soccer fields, campground, and a 14 acre
lake. VCS is committed to providing its students with
the latest in technology available with its computer lab and
classrooms. We also have a home economics lab that is
utilized for life skills development, as well a library and art
room to assist student learning.
How do students get here
For alternative placement at VCS, referrals must be made by the
home school district. The option of placement at Village
Christian can be discussed during an IEP meeting. District
officials will then contact VCS to schedule an intake meeting that
would be held at our facility.
