All VCHS students are expected to bring a personally owned iPad to school.

The one-iPad-per-student (1:1) model expands student access to engaging tools and resources, thereby allowing students to learn more effectively and to live more productively in an increasingly global and digital world.

Why a 1:1 Program?
Valley Christian High School’s 1:1 iPad program is essential on our Quest for Excellence in innovative quality education. Through our pursuit of A3 - Academic Achievement, Artistic Beauty, and Athletic Distinction - Valley Christian is committed to an environment where all students have the opportunity to grow in their God-given abilities.

The iPad is used extensively by students in the access of information and completion of work. Therefore, students are expected to bring their personal iPad to school every day.
