VCS Scholastic Structure
Valley Christian School is a non-denominational; no single church funds our activities, approves our curricula, controls our board, or sets our policies.
- The spectrum of students, faculty, staff, and board members reflects most Christian denominations in our area.
- We teach Christian principles, not denominational doctrine.
- Our teachers are dedicated to our mission of providing a Christ-centered education that connects home, church, and school.
Everything we do at VCS must be:
Biblical
The Bible—God’s holy, infallible Word—is the ultimate authority for every aspect of life. At Valley Christian our students learn to compare every idea, philosophy and behavior with the truths of the Bible. Students develop the habit of asking, “What does God say?” and practice making choices accordingly. Our school board, faculty, and staff seek to model total reliance upon God’s Word.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV
Reciprocal
Valley Christian School understands that God has given parents the primary responsibility of training their children. Valley Christian School collaborates with parents, the extended family, and churches to assist parents in their role. We communicate regularly with parents to help provide the education and experiences that will help each child thrive.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
–Deuteronomy 6:4-7 ESV
Practical
We realize that intellectual knowledge is not enough to prepare students to make wise choices and to affect the world for Christ. Therefore, Valley Christian School emphasizes practical application of both academic and spiritual principles. Academic lessons include hands-on opportunities and real-life connections. We link Bible lessons and biblical perspectives with actual ministry. Our students regularly participate in ministry projects that help them not only to hear God’s Word, but also to put it into practice.
As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.48They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
–Luke 6:47-49 ESV
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
–James 1:22 ESV
