Requirements
Valley Christian High School was established because a group of Christian parents had a vision of scripture-based and Christ-centered education for their children. This vision, resting on the truth that the power of the Gospel must permeate every facet of life, continues to provide the basis for our school. Our goal is that Valley Christian High School students will experience the full, regenerating power of Jesus Christ and the Word of God through the work of the Holy Spirit in their thinking and their doing. At the same time, we expect students to strive for the highest development and exploitation of each of their gifts as an offering of praise and gratitude to God.
The formal curriculum is the primary vehicle that we use to insure that the vision we have identified is systematically implemented in the instructional program. Much time, thought, expertise, and prayer have gone into the construction of the student academic program and offerings that are compiled in this curriculum guide. Consequently, it is vitally important that you familiarize yourself with the many programs and possibilities that are available. We encourage both parents and students to read and discuss this material together prior to the registration for classes.
