Valley Christian School

First, my point of this is not to bash VCHS but rather to let prospective attendees know the truth. We had 2 boys at VC for 3 years until 2016 when we finally made the move to Berean Christian.
The school is run like a dictatorship by the head Pastor of the Church. He has driven the Church and school into the ground and it’s clear the Deacons don’t care. All the good teachers have left along with most of the students. This year alone, over 100 student of the 250 have left. We tried to discuss the major issues with the new Head Dean, but they continue to have the attitude that nothing is wrong and if you have a problem, you should leave. They have threatened parents and children not to tell other families about leaving and the issues going on.
The sports program is all but gone and the focus is now on «international outreach». They have taken the «Christian» out of the school and even plan to cancel bible class.
The school now has only 150 students and more are leaving soon. Stay away, for $ 16,000+ per child, you can do much better. Berean is amazing and still is a true Christian school that doesn’t need to resort to recruiting over seas and at less than $ 9500 is a breath of fresh air.
I could say more but would rather discuss over the phone. If you have questions, reach out. Also, any positive reviews are either old or from church members who blindly follow their leader. If you have any doubt about him, just watch some of the online services.
Best of luck, your children’s future depends on your decision.

The school had a profound, positive impact on both our girls. We brought them here because we trusted their values. It was the right thing to do. In general, the teachers were very good. That’s not to say that they were perfect, but in general they were excellent.
I cringe thinking of what our girls would have been like had they not got here.
If we had to do it all over again I would also take them there. Thank you Valley Christian! Money well spent. Great people, great School.

The school is not what it once was. Good long standing teachers have left, the academics consist too much of worksheets and memorization, and the spirit of the school has suffered under the new administration. Too many of the long term families are leaving.

My twin boys went to 2 Montessori schools before attending VCS preschool. The last 2 schools complained about them almost everyday. The complains were they did not participate well at circle time, crying, whining, and delayed in speech. We know that we do not have to look for another school after we found VCS. They have been going to VCS for ½ year now and we have not received any complains at all. Teachers are very patient. They accept different type of kids. We feel very welcomed to go in everyday.

Sent my kids here years ago, and I felt judged by teachers. This was years ago. Stay out of Dublin High and just send your kids to public school in Pleasanton and San Ramon. They will have a better experience there.

Top notch academics.
Great examples of values and ethics in a world where this has gone out of vogue.
This combination is so rare these days but there are few things better that you can do for your favorite student.

Great Christian school. I would say the best in the bat area.

My son has been a part of VCES of almost two years and he loves it. He has built solid friends, and is receiving a Christ centered world class education. I highly recommend this school.

This is an amazing school. I have had first hand experience with several of the private schools in the area and this one is by far the best. I have never seen such loving and attentive staff, supportive families, and a curriculum that truly serves the «whole child». As a transfer student from another private school, my child felt amazingly accepted and integrated from the very first day. Social and leadership skills are not just taught but are put into practice. The administration is extremely open to input and is taking huge strides to make an amazing school even better in many areas ranging from curriculum to sports and the arts. I am a very picky parent and am absolutely thrilled with this school. It’s worth every penny!

My daughter has been attending VCA since Kindergarden and I can’t say enough about this school. They have done so much for my daughter. They are a Christian school but more importantly the teachers are all so loving and treat each child special. The education is amazing and the other classes they offer like computer, music, art are fabulous. My daughter has learned about her environment and how to be more Green. I hope I can keep my daughter at VCA through 12^th grade.
