Valley Christian Academy

My (3yo) daughter has been thriving at Valley Christian Academy! The teachers and staff are dedicated to providing a Christ centered education through fun and meaningful classroom experiences. At VCA the children are assessed on their large and fine motor skills as well as other cognitive development, VCA offers a reading academy and they hold an annual school play that is absolutely adorable!!

We have a whole story.....we started with VCA at the Restoration campus in Fountain last school year and immediately LOVED it. Our kid had some separation anxiety and this was definitely a match for him. They did a fantastic job of being intuitive to when our son should be placed in a new classroom to challenge him and really help him move forward. Fast forward some time and we moved out of that area, and subsequently finished out the school year and sadly said our goodbyes.

Then it was time for pre-school. We went to an orientation for what was in our school district and left that evening feeling very disappointed in what we were told our child would be getting after experiencing the education at VCA (our kid knew his planets before he was 4, it was impressive!!).

It just didn’t sit right with us, so days after we decided it was worth the drive and returned to VCA at Friendship. Our 4 year old has been in the reading program (SO worth it!) and can sound out words, is writing better, and is so eager to learn. He is excited about going to school, loves his teachers and absolutely adores the director Ms Renee. We are so very thankful for VCA and the care and education our son gets!

Our Granddaughter is in preschool and she loved it from the moment she started! The teachers are amazing too!

My son has been attending Rainbow of Friends for 2 months and he loves it! Everyone is so sweet and loving. He participates in the reading program. He is only three and wasn't reading at all when he started, he can now read words and knows most letter sounds in such a short time.. He loves reading and learning. I'm blown away he is only three and can already read words and sound things out on his own. Couldn't be happier with our choice to send him here!

My daughter is currently attending kindergarten at VCA. Whatever you're looking for in a good elementary school, this school has it. Academics are solid, I am amazed at how well her reading has improved and more importantly she is excited to show off her new literacy skills. The school focuses on a child's individual needs and level and has a great teacher to student ratio so each child has an opportunity to learn to the best of his or her ability. The school offers sports opportunities, before and after school care, basically everything you'd want in a school. But more importantly to our family is that our daughter loves it.

Have a positive school experience early on can set the stage for a child's entire education. It was more important to us because our daughter is on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum and we know how frustrating traditional school environments can be for students like her. She is excited to go to school every morning. She loves her friends and her teachers. And the great thing for me as a parent, I know the teachers love her back and really care about her, I'm sending her to a school that celebrates her for who she is. They've worked hard with her to help her develop the social skills she needs to get a solid footing in school.

If you're considering a private, Christian, education for your child, if you want a strong academic focus in a caring environment, I would highly recommend Valley Christian.
