Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
Joel 1:3

Valley Christian School has been helping homeschool families for 30 years. Our primary goal is to assist parents who have been called by God to homeschool their children. Our desire is to partner with you in the development of Godly character, study skills, problem-solving and writing abilities, classroom etiquette and healthy social development in your children. We do this by having monthly conferences with a certified teacher, who also has experience as a homeschool parent. Families receive help with curriculum decisions, lesson planning and annual testing. Students take part in weekly homeschool classes, or in some cases do everything at home through our accountability program.

VCS Homeschool is a state recognized homeschool extension program.  Which means we meet the requirements to homeschool for you, keep records of school days and subject progress and provide annual testing.  This testing meets the state requirement but is not a state test.  It is an Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) supported test.

Being enrolled in VCS Homeschool, all sports and extracurricular activities at VCS are available to your students.  We have elementary middle school and high school sports, band starting in 5th grade, robotics club and more.  Homeschool students and families are also welcome and encouraged to attend the all school Chapels and the Panther Project all school service project.  The homeschool program also has regular Family Chapels and Student led chapels in Secondary.
