West Valley Christian School

I have been at this school for the past 10 years. I truly appreciate the teachers and staff for caring for our children by partnering in their education and spiritual development.

We were in an LAUSD school through 4^th grade and our school moved campuses. We were in a science magnet that had very high API scores and a great teaching staff and were happy there. Unfortunately we couldn’t move with our school due to logistics and we had to move our child for 5^th grade. He moved to another private christian school in the Valley and it was not a good fit for him. In desperation we moved AGAIN (this time to WVCS) in the middle of our 5^th grade year. Tough transitional year. This school went above and beyond to make me and my child feel welcome. The kids saved cupcakes for him for his first day there. The parents emailed me and welcomed me. The PTO president even reached out to me to say hello. I even got texts from them randomly checking on his progress to make sure he was adjusting well. I did not know any of these parents prior to moving and the administration was the same. Chapel here is amazing and they welcome the parents/​families to worship with their children which was new to me and our family loves it. They have sports, art, foreign language, theater (amazing theater director), keyboarding, computer and a wonderful library. Something I noticed when we visited this school was the children’s ability to speak in social settings. Kids who «feel» they have a voice will speak to you when you are walking the campus. Children came up to me and said hello during my tour. Now that I am in the school I understand why. These kids are very well versed in speaking in public. They have so many opportunities (organic opportunities, without being forced) to speak, perform, dance and be creative at chapel and other functions. Even the younger grades are very well versed in this area. The academics are very high without being overwhelming. The teachers so far have helped without spoon feeding the kids. They are really encouraging independence at this age which is key for them for middle school. We have been very happy here so far. Our child is waking up happy to go to school. I suggest checking this school out if you are considering a new school.

We started going to this school in 2015 and have really enjoyed it! We came from a great public school out of state and decided private school would be best for our family. I love that my kids have the same Christian values taught at school as they do at home. The teachers pray for and with my kids and biblical principles are used in helping the kids work through their struggles!
The academics are terrific! They utilize a good mix of technology and traditional methods to make the kids well rounded and ready for our current times. We get progress reports sent out every Sunday via email and can go online to look at the kid’s grades any time! My kids have asthma and have had to miss some school but they have a great process to ensure the kids stay on track.
Every Wednesday, the elementary kids go to Chapel first thing in the morning and do a lot of fun things! Skits, dances, videos, recognizing character traits in kids and much more! My wife and I try to make it as often as possible since it’s such a great way to support our kids and have a great start to the day!
The staff and administration have been amazing! They really care for the kids and the parents to make sure everyone is really comfortable and having an enjoyable experience. They communicate well and provide great activities for families while always keeping in mind that most families in the church are busy Wednesday nights.
Parent participation is highly encouraged and parents are welcome to participate in many activities! My second grader did an ancestor project and had about 10 parents there out of 18 kids in the class!
The PTO is really supportive of the school and do fundraisers that most of us are going to do anyway so it is easy to support! Dinners out at restaurants, See’s Candy orders and my favorite, The Polar Express! The Polar Express allows the parents to give the kids a budget for buying gifts that have been collected year-​round. The kids then get help picking out gifts for the members of the family the parent has allotted. The presents get sent home, wrapped, in time for Christmas! My kids loved that they were able to really surprise my me and my wife!
This school is amazing! We are looking forward to our 3^rd joining the party in 2016 for kindergarten!

I am the father of one boy and two girls. I interviewed WVCS 2.5 years ago. The staff displayed strong Christian values during the initial interview. This has continued to be shown in the manner the school has helped our family. I am very pleased with the education and environment offered by WVCS. From the teaching, to the sports and especially the drama program, the staff helps ensure there is something for all types of kids.
I highly recommend this school to all families I come across.

We just love this school! The teachers, principal, and staff are always accessible when we have questions and/​or concerns. I am especially impressed with my daughter’s kindergarten teacher, who consistently reaches out and shares the progress my child has been making. My daughter’s penmanship, vocabulary, and social skills has improved a lot since she started the school year two months ago. It is a blessing and a wonderful experience to be a parent at this school!

WVCS is absolutely the best school in San Fernando Valley. As a teacher, I have knowledge of other private schools around. Therefore, I must recommend this school to parents who want their children to succeed. If you put your child there, your child will be loved and protected by the teachers. My daughter has been going to WVCS since kindergarten and I have seen her growing academically, but also –and most important– spiritually. God bless you all.

In the midst of a custody dispute with my ex, this school violated court orders and my parental rights by refusing to a) cooperate with court orders b) assisting my ex in alienating me by refusing to put me on an authorized list to pick up my son, as well as by actually hiding him from me when I did come to pick him up and c) purposefully excluding me from communication about my son’s activities so that I could not attend. In addition, without my parental consent and based purely on SPORTS (no matter what they say) they allowed my ex to hold my son back a grade even though he successfully completed the previous grade with good grades. (They did this with several other kids as well; highly suspect) This was done all despite them having official and correct copy of custody orders. I have high skepticism of a «Christian» school that behaves in such a way. Law suit coming…

Moving to LA (the valley specifically) was very very difficult for me since I had relocated from Colorado Springs, CO and the public school system was so amazing! I place my child at an elementary school in the LAUSD which I will not mention out of respect and she came home every day and cried. The experience was so horrible and I was so stressed.
Thank fully with Gods guidance I found this amazing place where my daughter was not only able to achieve an amazing education but grow so much spiritually. Mrs. Hoevel her 5^th grade teacher is an incredible mentor, teacher and blessing. The Principal and office staff are just such amazing people and are very interested in making sure everything is going well.
We are now relocating back to Colorado and we will truly miss this school. It was definitely a gift from God.

The preschool is amazing in every regard. The staff isn’t just friendly, they truly love my kids. My kids love coming every day and are excited to learn. I feel the curriculum is thorough and my pre-​K kid is well prepared for kindergarten. The kids also get to explore and play too, which is a perfect balance. The environment is clean and kid-​friendly. I feel we get a 200% return on every cent we pay for our kids to go here, I can’t recommend it enough.

I Love this place too… This is our 5^th year at West Valley. we started off at the preschool and were now in elementary. I must comment that our Administration is wonderful and our teachers are Amazing… The teachers truly love your children and want the best for them.
I also have a child enrolled in the HS. It is mostly international with more national students enrolling but he loves the program and its diversity. The teachers are great and helpful. The classrooms are small so students don’t get lost or left behind. It is a feeling of belonging to a place where people truly care.
Both children participate in WV basketball programs. The coaching staff is Excellent! They are very happy with Darryl & Ray! Our school is lucky to have such talented coaching staff. As well as the soccer program! My lil one started playing soccer in Preschool with Mr. Josh. We are truly blessed to have him as a coach.
The kids also attend chapel which is important to us that they learn Christian values.
If you are interested in the preschool Mrs. Judy & Mrs. Kelly are Wonderful! I can not say enough great stuff about them. They were the reasons we started this school. When we moved to this area a little over 5 years ago I prayed and searched endlessly online looking for the right school for my child. Somehow God took us to Mrs. Kelly & Mrs. Judy and we knew instantly that’s where we wanted to be.
Since the beginning the teachers have been so wonderful! Ms. Meggan… Mrs. Salas (our elementary school teachers thus far) Beautiful Hearts and Lovely Teachers.
I also wanted to mention our Drama program. I wish my son wanted to participate in the productions but he is a little shy however he loves his drama class! And the productions our school puts on are incredible!
We are very happy with our school and all of its programs. If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out to us.

I love this place!!!
My daughter goes to pre school and she loves it!
Her teacher is so loving and wonderful!

My son goes to Elementary school here, and is Elite Basketball program with Velocity training. It has only been a little over a month but there has been significant improvement in his speed, strength. We were at a great school previously and was nervous about transferring. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. The teachers, coaches, and staff are amazing, caring, and hands on. Art program is diverse, from photography to performing arts they have it all. Take a tour, visit the campus and make an informed decision for your family.

My son had just started and I’m so happy we made the change from public school to private. My son needed a little extra help and the staff goes above and beyond to help with his needs. Everyone is so caring! I highly recommend this school!

We love this school! Teachers have a heart for The Lord, all the kids are welcoming and so love the administration! Come check it out! Think your heart will be content after you come learn about WVCS. They welcome anyone and even now have Basketball school, GATE program, technology and a resource help.

I thank God everyday that we found this amazing school for our daughter! She has learned and grown so much in just a short period of time. She also loves her school and asks us all the time «why is school closed on the weekends?»

My kids belong to velocity program. Great program and great education program. They really love this school. The teachers are passionate. The principal is involved and easy to communicate with. Great after school program and good affordable prices

My son who is 34 months is in the youngest class — the Terrific Teddies overseen by Ms. Beck, an amazing teacher!
My son has never loved going to school (daycare then) as much as how he would now in WVCS. It is the warm, fun and safe environment he’s been accustomed to in the last 3 weeks. He’s always excited to get up in the morning and see his teacher and classmates. I noticed also, that my son’s language and social skills have improved a lot considering that is just 3 weeks into this school year.
They have a very structured program. I also love how the teachers and staff interact with me on a regular basis and give feedback regarding my child’s progress or just plainly how the day went for him.
We wanted our child primarily to learn Christian values, and be in a safe and positive environment. You can expect highly from the school and the staff and be confident that you’re child is in good hands and happy.
I highly recommend West Valley Christian School.

My kids still have fond memories of their years in PreSchool. We have had friends that have attended the West Valley Christian School PreSchool and had just as good or better experience. The teachers are not only caring but do an amazing job preparing the kids for Kindergarten.
They even have a fantastic after school daycare program that is not only fun for the kids it is VERY affordable and I believe it still goes until 6 pm which makes it convenient if you work and cannot get off until 5 pm.
Obviously I would highly recommend. And for those that attended years ago, it is now all on the same campus as the Elementary and Middle School Campus and the new gym and building were completed a few years ago!

West Valley Christian School has the feel of a small school with the personalized attention that one would expect but facilities that one would only expect at a much larger school.

We have been going for approximately 2 years and have been pleased with the quality of teachers and the attention our child receives. Our son tells us everyday he goes how much he enjoys it and misses days he doesn’t go. The Flett Family
