WARRIOR EX VCS VISION

VCS MISSION Valley Christian Schools’ mission is to provide a nurturing environment offering quality education supported by a strong foundation of Christian values in partnership with parents, equipping students to become leaders to serve God, to serve their families, and to positively impact their communities and the world.

1960

INTEGRATION OF FAITH AND ACADEMICS

Valley Christian Schools’ story began in 1956 during a Bible study hosted by Bud and Barbara Callisch.

Here, David and Edie Wallace discussed and prayed about creating a Christian school dedicated to a nurturing Christ-centered environment and a curriculum that integrates biblical principles. The school opened its doors in 1960 at Los Gatos Christian Church.

A core distinctive of Valley Christian Schools is the seamless integration of faith with academics.

High-quality academic programs are coupled with thoughtful conversations, enabling students to incorporate their Christian faith into every aspect of their education. This comprehensive approach equips our students with the knowledge, skills, and values to excel in the next phase of their educational journey as they navigate a dynamic world.

MEET OUR P R I N C I PA L “We are training our students to become effective, independent learners.”

I am privileged to serve as elementary principal at Valley Christian Schools.

I taught high school English for several years, served in administration for nineteen years, and have seen all four of my children attend VCS. These multiple perspectives help me fully appreciate our amazing school. What I value most is the faith-based approach in all we do, the sense of community, and the K-12 scope of our programs. As an employee and parent, I can share from experience that this is a special place.

I am beyond grateful to lead a staff of experienced educators. From the classroom to the science lab, the band room to the athletic field, we have highcaliber teachers who put together quality classes to help our children discover their talents and develop their skill sets. Our students have unparalleled opportunities to unlock their passions in many areas.

The educational opportunities are just one of the many qualities that make the Valley Christian campus stand apart.

Our educators’ strength, combined with our parents’ commitment, promotes an environment where students thrive.

It is exciting to hear how our parents, students, and teachers work together to create a rich culture and community.

Events like our annual Pancake Breakfast, Jog-A-Thon, junior high promotion events, and the End-of-Year Party help create lasting memories. Our efforts make a difference, as the sense of community fosters connection, joy, and belonging.

ATHLETICS Physical Education & Sports

We strive to teach wellness concepts and physical skills that inspire students to embrace a proactive, healthy lifestyle.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Students participate in PE twice a week, with a unique motor lab for kindergartners to further develop their motor skills. Some of the units of study include jump rope, bowling, tennis, foursquare, basketball, volleyball, softball, and physical fitness. All students are encouraged to participate and increase their dexterity.

FITNESS BIKES We are committed to creating a classroom environment that speaks to the needs of active young learners—especially the need to move. All classrooms have a kid-sized fitness bike that is available for use throughout the day. Several teachers use standing desks and core-strengthening sitting options.

Both students and teachers integrate ‘body breaks’ throughout the day.

MARCH MADNESS One highlight of the school year for many students is the double-elimination March Madness Tournament in the spring. Students learn the value of teamwork, a healthy competitive spirit, and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude.

FIFTH GRADE BOYS & GIRLS BASKETBALL Our Fifth Grade Basketball program runs from November to January and is offered three days a week for both boys and girls. At the end of the season, each team will play an intrasquad scrimmage at the Skyway Campus to put their skills to the test and celebrate all their hard work.

LITTLE WARRIOR NATION Little Warrior Nation (LWN) is an exciting extracurricular opportunity for all our students to learn the fundamentals of various sports.

SPIRITUAL FO Students thrive in a Christ-centered learning environment as dedicated teachers motivate and inspire them. All students are encouraged to grow in their personal relationship with God and foster the Way of the Warrior virtues: wisdom, honor, sacrifice, and courage.

WAY OF THE WARRIOR The goal of Spiritual Formation is to point people to Jesus, fulfill God’s call through education, and aim to reach Silicon Valley and beyond. Our well-rounded education extends beyond classrooms and test scores, integrating character and identity formation into all academic pursuits. In 2022, VCS launched an initiative to focus on building faith, character, and virtues. We call it the Way of the Warrior.

The Way of the Warrior ethos has the following qualities: •

Wisdom: Pursue wisdom in education (Proverbs 1:7).

•

Honor: Honor one another above yourselves (Romans 12:10).

•

Sacrifice: Seek the heart of Christ (Philippians 2:2-8).

•

Courage: Embrace resilience (Philippians 1:20).

These virtues are foundational for students and transformational for our VCS family. Imagine the impact of a Warrior Nation that demonstrates wisdom, honor, courage, and sacrifice in all thoughts, words, actions, and relationships. We believe the Way of the Warrior can shape how we lead, serve, and impact our world.

BIBLICAL

UNITY

“There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).

We believe that true belonging is rooted in the heart of God’s design. Guided by biblical principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we are committed to honoring every individual as a unique image-bearer of Jesus Christ. Embracing the beautiful tapestry of God’s kingdom with its many cultures, people groups, and ethnic identities, we strive to reflect the unity in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).

Ethnic diversity is a beautiful part of God’s original and eternal design for humanity, reflecting His glory and deepening our understanding of who He is. Biblical unity is rooted in Jesus’ greatest commandment: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:28–33). True diversity, equity, and inclusion are made possible only through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and the truth of Scripture. vcs.net/biblicalunity

24

FOUR CORE BIBLICAL UNITY PRINCIPLES 1. LOVE reminds us that true unity flows from Christ’s redemptive work. When we see every person as God’s image-bearer, it transforms how we handle conflict, discipline, and differences (Genesis 1:27).

2. CELEBRATE moves us beyond tolerance to actively honoring the rich tapestry of cultures, abilities, and backgrounds God has woven into our community (Galatians 3:28).

3. CULTIVATE calls us to intentionally build bridges of understanding, partnering with families to create environments where everyone belongs (Philippians 2:3-4).

4. RECONCILE is a step toward peace and forgiveness because Christ first forgave us. By God’s mercy, we can equip our students to pursue justice and healing in a fractured world, addressing real issues like racism and injustice with grace (Matthew 5:9).

We cultivate biblical unity through joyful cultural celebrations, family support, spiritual formation, community dialogue, and Christ-centered education.

Our goal is to reflect the eternal reality of God’s kingdom, where every nation worships together in perfect unity, by pursuing transformative oneness through Jesus Christ and a steadfast commitment to biblical truth.

SPIRITUAL FORMATION

WELLNESS Psalms 139:14 states that God created our innermost being, and we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” by Him. God designed us to have thoughts, emotions, and gifts, all packaged in a physical body. Each part of us needs care and attention to ensure we thrive and live the life He created us to live. The Wellness team promotes understanding of these qualities and teaches how to care for and honor them.

We desire to provide the following:

Pastoral care for the whole person

Opportunities for our community to care for each part of their being

Resources for social, emotional, and spiritual support

Healthy coping strategies embedded in curriculum at all campuses

Social emotional learning strategies included in the school day

Support for parents and investment in relationships with them

25

STUDENT LIFE Throughout the year, we host a variety of exciting events designed to bring our community together for fellowship and fun. We kick off the school year with our annual Pancake Breakfast, a favorite for many families, as the campus transforms into a festive, joy-filled environment. Another beloved tradition is our annual Elementary Football Night, where families gather to cheer on our VCHS Warriors to victory.

Additional events include Back-to-School Night, themed days, Spirit Week, Jog-A-Thon, and more. A highlight for students is the annual End-of-Year Party, a celebration that marks the conclusion of a year filled with hard work and learning. The theme changes every year, offering students the chance to enjoy food, games, competitions, and the ever-popular dance-off!

At VCES, we believe it’s important for students to create lasting memories both inside and outside the classroom—moments they will cherish for years to come.

26

STUDENT STORY

I like that when I go to school, I’m going somewhere that isn’t home but feels like home. I’m happy because I have friends there, nice teachers, and it feels good.

27

COMMUNITY Students take part in a range of group learning experiences during the school year, such as field trips and after-school programs.

These activities offer chances to connect with other VCES students and build potential mentor relationships with students from the Skyway Campus. We believe that these experiences are essential in the process of nurturing a strong sense of safety and belonging within our community.
