APPLY TO VCS

APPLYING TO VALLEY CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

VCS takes a comprehensive look at all applicants for admissions with the goal of identifying the most capable and highly motivated students — students who will embrace Biblical truth, strive for academic excellence, and model Christ-like leadership in order to influence their homes, churches, and communities for Christ.

Each applicant file includes an online application, teacher and pastor recommendation forms (at the high school), a transcript of academic record, standardized test scores, and a personal interview.

Students of all backgrounds are welcomed at Valley Christian Schools. VCS does not enroll international students; you must have a United States citizenship or Visa to apply.
