Spiritual Formation

Through interactions with Christian mentors, campus pastors, chaplains, biblical teaching, and meaningful life experiences, VCHS graduates can define and live out their own faith both on our campus and in the community. Alongside a student’s educational journey, we seek to foster the values of wisdom, honor, courage, and sacrifice, which we call ‘the Way of the Warrior’. For our students, the Way of the Warrior is about personal formation on their journey toward graduation. Our goal for every Valley student is the desire to be formed into the likeness of Jesus, allowing us to reflect His love and grace to others around the world. We will encourage our students to grow in their Christian faith or be willing to give Jesus a fair hearing.

Bible Classes

Bible Classes for every grade level, designed as part of our 4-year Spiritual Plan, including introductory classes for students new to Christian Teaching.

Classes focused on the following areas:

Studies in the Bible's Old Testament
Studies in the Bible's New Testament
Philosophy of Religion & World Religions
Service Learning: on campus, in local community, or around the world

Service Opportunities

Every year, VCS students and faculty teams travel the world on short-term service trips to South Africa, Liberia, Chile, Haiti, India, Mexico, and Thailand. Students must complete 25 hours of Community Service each year, though many serve above and beyond that. Our students lead Bay Area-focused service projects during the school day through Junior University and Lighthouse programs, providing tutoring for students at local public elementary schools and building relationships with them. VCHS hosts several campus-wide service projects throughout the year, including food drives, clothing drives, and fundraising for various non-profits.
