Function
Ventura County Christian School is dedicated to raising a high standard in the community by offering quality elementary, middle school, and college preparatory courses, a wide variety of community services, and a curriculum of Bible classes at every grade level.
Christian ethics are taught throughout the program and the benefits of godly relationships are displayed in the daily lives of the teachers and students at the school.
James Dobson stresses the fact that “private schools provide a valuable option for parents who desire an education unencumbered by the limitations in public schools” (Focus On The Family). VCCS offers a program that will promote quality lifestyles for the students and in turn, generate strong young adults into our society.
The school commits to the surrounding community as it places a high priority on interaction with the Ventura County area. VCCS serves the area through a variety of community services where the students learn the importance of making a positive difference in society
History
Ventura County Christian School first opened its doors in 1993 to ninth and tenth graders as an answer to a need in the area for a Christian high school. VCCS remained a high school until 2004 when a new door opened for the school to become a K-12th grade. What we offer today is a K4 - 12th-grade learning experience. This result was born through the prayers of the faithful, tested through time as a mere vision, and has now become a wonderful school to be thankful for.
With the strong support of local churches and their pastors, VCCS has been firmly planted to help train children with strong Christian values and excellent academic knowledge, resulting in students who leave for college with assurance and confidence.
Our school board is very diverse, comprised of representatives from many local churches and many walks of life, setting the school apart from any other. Not only is there a Christian school here today, there is now a bond that exists between the churches of this community, with an unsurpassed unity and vision.
It is a great blessing and responsibility to affect the lives of thousands of children as they attend VCCS and reap the amazing benefits of the best Christian education in the area. The staff and students enjoy the results of all that is accomplished on campus and look forward to the ways God may use each of them as they go out to impact the world for His glory!
