Business and Entrepreneurship Initiative

Our students are world changers, and with the Business and Entrepreneurship Initiative (BEI), students will have resources and training to innovate as principled business leaders.

With BEI, students learn core business concepts in school-day courses and also apply what they learn through several dynamic business programs. These unique opportunities expose students to successful Silicon Valley business leaders who exemplify Christian principles as they mentor and spark innovation in the young entrepreneurs. Valley Christian Schools’ BEI program is on the cutting edge of creating future leaders, giving Warriors another avenue to lead, serve, and impact as they follow their Quest for Excellence.

It is my privilege and honor to serve our elementary, junior high and high school students as they discover, explore, and develop their God-given gifts and talents. The Business and Entrepreneurship Initiative (BEI) program was founded in order to equip and train our future industry leaders with a faith-driven, entrepreneurial mindset that allows impacts beyond the walls of the school.

BEI supports students in becoming:

Real-world problem solvers, pursuing projects and ventures that are innovative, sustainable, and impactful.
Collaborators and critical thinkers, who can communicate and “think on their feet”.
Creative leaders, who imagine and build new products and services using the unique abilities that our divine Creator has given them.
Young people who can interact with Silicon Valley industry leaders who volunteer to mentor and challenge them through speaker events and programs. These leaders often make life-long connections with students and impart valuable wisdom to them.

We are being intentional about raising the next generation of thoughtful leaders and changemakers as they take their passion and “do it heartily unto the Lord”- Col. 3:23.

Join us in this journey.

In Christ,
Hannah Kim
Vice President and Senior Director, BEI

DECA provided an opportunity to socialize, engage in, and learn business concepts. [My son] …really enjoyed the DECA program and had a lot of fun at DECA conferences. We appreciate the growth opportunity to get out of his comfort zone and engage in a business setting. -VCS Parent
