Private Schools

Horrible solutions to help solve bullying

We love hearing from past students! Thanks, Leo for the positive review. There have been a lot of wonderful changes since you were a student here three years ago. You'll find many new faces in staff, teachers and students, including our current Horned Owl teacher. She's been here three years....I bet you would have loved her as much as her students, families and we do!

Thise is the best school in the world

We were fortunate to find OWS when our son was entering Kindergarten. He continued at OWS through middle school. Our son agrees that it was an exceptional experience and set the trajectory for excellent performance in high school. The project / time management skills learned at OWS continue to pay huge dividends and will likely do so for life. We would not hesitate to recommend OWS. That said, if you are looking for a classic military style "drilling" type institution, this is definitely not that.

went to the school for 5 years and it was good until middle school. thats when it gets clique-y and you've known these people for too long, and so it just gets boring and the bubble needs to be pushed. but the first few years were golden.

This school provides an exceptional Christian education. The academics are strong, the class sizes are small, and there is chapel twice per week. It is nice that the Bible can be taught in school, and that the students can say prayers. The staff truly loves the students and cares about their education and their spiritual growth.

I go to school here it's nice

Best three years of my life!

Valley Christian has been an excellent experience for our family. It is a caring community of teachers and staff that educate efficiently while maintaining a Christian perspective. Our experience in the local public school (West Valley School District) was horrific. Truly unbelievable. We weren't looking for private education, but are absolutely delighted to have found Valley Christian. The difference is readily apparent from the first time you visit the school. You owe it to your children to at least tour the facility Reading other posts, I find it odd others have viewed VCS as dogmatic or rigid. Our experience is that they are inclusive of others beliefs and we have met many families that enjoy denominations different than ours that attend a variety of Churches. I know nothing has offended us and have not heard that others have been offended. VCS is currently operating on a 4 day school week. Every Friday is off unless Monday was a holiday. Both my kids are operating above grade level and test well above the public system. This leaves Friday for enrichment and we're currently taking a 3 hour robotics class given by the computer and lab teachers. VCS offers a lot of educational enrichment opportunities. We've been involved in Chess Club, Basketball, Cross Country, Band, Choir, Drama, Spelling Bee, and Public Speaking. This example is only at the elementary level and only what we had time for. While the public system is eliminating programs, VCS is adding them! All while educating better and using one less day. Needless to say, we are appreciative and thankful for such a school to exist.

The proportion of stellar teachers at The Oaks is remarkable--I've never encountered a school with so many fantastic and caring teachers! The environment at The Oaks has been a great change for my girls. At The Oaks students in elementary learn songs (often with movements), they memorize helpful chants, and the teachers ask plenty of questions, BUT only one student is allowed to speak at a time. It is amazing how much more learning occurs and can occur in a respectful, orderly, (and fun) environment.

My children attended SJV many years ago. The education they received prepared them for high school but more importantly shaped them as the adults they are today. I now have 3 grandchildren attending SJV. It's cool to see them in classes with the children of my kids classmates. Long history of quality education that spans generations.
