Valley Christian High School

This is an amazing High School. We left a top ranked public High School and wow what a difference Valley Christian has made in our daughter. The teachers are top notch, the staff is amazing and the students are friendly. This school has exceeded our expectations and we have seen extremely positive advancements in our daughter since attending. Save yourself the research and multiple school vists that we went through and make the effort to come here. Your son or daughter will excel as a student, human being and Christian. Thank you Valley Christian!

Although I’ve been out of school for some time, I do have professional dealings with the school and their students. They are an outstanding school, and this is where I would want my kids to attend. The staff present outstanding opportunities that you just can’t find elsewhere. Their music departments are simply the BEST!!!

I have to begin this review with the obvious. Why is the mascot a Crusader?!
The crusades were responsible for roughly millions upon millions of deaths in the name of Christianity. I know a lot of Christians claim that the crusaders were not Christians, etc. Whatever. Valley Christian is the first institution to be PROUD of being a Crusader! It’s sort of baffling.
Either they don’t have a grasp on what the crusades truly meant or (more likely) are simply proud to a member of this group. It’s pretty much the equivalent of having an all Muslim school and calling the mascot the Al Qaedas. Most people are ashamed of their religion’s extremists, but, moving on…
There is a huge push for waiting to engage in sex until you are married. That’s fine. It’s a religious school. I know at least two people (boys) who engaged in abortions and were still allowed to play in the chapel band, lead student government, and overall continue to be heralded as perfect students. Yes, many of the teachers knew about this.
However, when one girl became pregnant and decided to «do the right thing» and keep the baby. She was promptly kicked out. A few weeks later during a chapel service about purity until marriage her face was flashed for a moment on the huge screen… before the entire school. This is exactly the reason that so many people choose abortion over not having an abortion: avoiding people slut shaming you into getting one anyway.
But I digress… what of this girl’s privacy? Why did she leave if she was still going to be bullied and gossiped about (by teachers, no less!). Much of the underclassmen didn’t know anything about the pregnancy until that chapel. It was wrong. But it was incredibly wrong because it was done by teachers that I thought I trusted until that moment. This was the day I really started questioning why I was attending this school.
Two of my religion teachers were lesbians. They taught us that being gay was a choice. Once again, religious school, so I can’t really have a qualm there… it just makes me sad that the people teaching were still in the closet. It sort of goes to show you can’t really «pray the gay» away or even hide it if you try.
There’s no cafeteria. Students sit on floors… outside. No auditorium. No swimming pool. No wrestling team. There was a gymnastics team when I went there but it was sort of on it’s last limbs since there’s no «gymnastics room» on campus. No school nurse. Out of 4 buildings, 2 have no air conditioning or heat… no joke.
Zero black faculty.
Annual tuition is the same as the annual tuition at UCLA.

Valley Christian is an outstanding school. My daughter is 23 and attended Valley for 13 years. She recalls her education at Valley and the friends that she made with great pride. My other daughter has 1.5 years to complete and will have then completed 13 years as well.
I am so pleased to have had my girls in the Valley Christian school system. The school has an outstanding record in all areas of teaching. The teachers, staff, and administrative office are all very kind and supportive.
I highly recommend Valley to all families.

Daughter transferred into this school as a freshman and my son as a sixth grader. Both being straight A students involved in Student Government and sports, it was extremely important to have a well rounded school with many opportunities available to them. Both the kids are thriving and eager to go to school every day. Thankful for this school.

I come from China and spent my last two years of high school here.
The school is good. Teachers are very nice and I made a lot of new friends!

I agree. I visited the school and the teachers did not seem friendly or warm to my Jacob.

Amazing school. I came here 10^th-​12^th grade and I highly recommend it. I made friends that encouraged my walk with the Lord. The teachers are amazinggggg at their job. They also take the time to really listen and talk with their students about everything including religion. A def. plus. Something that is frowned upon at Public schools. Sports are a big deal there so there’s plenty of teams your children can join. There are those kids that are bad influences but all schools have them. I had friends that came all the way from Yorba Linda, Torrance and San Pedro. We all loved it. After 6 years, I can see many of my old friends are still close friends. A lot of them went to Valley Christian School since elementary so they have that special bond. The only problem I have is the tuition! Every year they seem to raise it. I have a two year old daughter. I would love for her to go to that school. It seems like there is a lot of opportunity that can come from that school. They recently opened a preschool so I am very excited! If budget allows, I will def. send my daughter (and future children) there preschool-​high school, no questions asked.
