Bus Service

We offer extensive bus service on selected routes in Santa Clara County at an additional charge. Busing sign-ups will be part of the online enrollment process available starting February 1, 2024 for returning students. New students may sign up for busing after they submit their enrollment deposit and complete the online enrollment process.

Free shuttle service runs continuously in the morning and afternoon from the Capitol Station (Fehren Dr. and Monterey Hwy) located approximately ¾ of a mile north of the Skyway campus on Monterey Hwy. Free morning shuttle service is provided from the Blossom Hill Station (Ford Rd. and Monterey Hwy) located approximately two miles south of the Skyway campus on Monterey Hwy. Times for the Blossom Hill Station shuttle service can be found on the busing brochure. We encourage families to take advantage of the shuttle as it serves to lessen the traffic on the Skyway campus and can easily save a parent an average of 20 minutes per day picking up or dropping off their child. Please note that security is provided at the Capitol Station continuously each school day from approximately 6:15am to 6:30pm.

HEALTH INSURANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

We require all international students to have medical insurance while they are enrolled at VCS. This policy is in place to ensure that our students are protected and can access the medical care they need while studying in a foreign country.

The cost of medical treatment in the United States can be very high, and having medical insurance is essential to avoid potential financial burdens. By requiring international students to have medical insurance, we aim to provide them with the necessary coverage to meet their healthcare needs in the event of an illness or injury.

We understand that finding adequate health insurance can be challenging for international students, and we offer assistance in finding and selecting suitable coverage options. Our priority is to ensure that our international students feel safe and secure during their time at our school and that they have access to healthcare in the event of a medical emergency.

My teachers are intelligent, committed, and they’re always supportive of my classmates and me. I am grateful that I get to study in a school that is academically demanding but still holds the values of God. The environment is not one of stressfulness and competitiveness, but where we view the achievements of others as encouraging to ourselves.-Johan, Mexico
