Giving in Action

The vision of Valley Christian Schools is to provide a place where every student pursues their personal Quest for Excellence. We use our tuition funds each year to ensure that the school’s operations go smoothly and uninterrupted. However, through philanthropy and the generosity of our community, we see the vision of Valley Christian Schools come to life.

Our breadth of courses and program offerings only exist because generous people in the community saw a need and gave above and beyond tuition to create new programs. Through the Warrior Fund, every campus and program can make improvements and have new supplies and more resources.

ENHANCED FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS

The Warrior Fund increases each year’s operational budget, allowing VCS to do more for our students. With increased operational budgets, your donations support enhancements for programs and facilities on each campus, allowing VCS to do more for our students than we could through tuition alone. In recent years, the strength of our Warrior Fund has supported facility improvements such as the Counseling Center, Library, updated classrooms, and labs.

Counseling Center

The remodeled Counseling Center is the new home of our talented team of counselors, who work tirelessly to foster the future goals of each student and nurture our students as unique individuals with vastly different passions and talents.

Human Performance Center (HPC)

Modeled after the San Francisco 49ers’ training facility, Valley Christian Schools’ new Human Performance Center will open in Spring 2023. This new facility will provide year-round access to sports-specific training aimed at maximizing strength, speed, and power for all student-athletes.

Library

Our newly remodeled Library and Learning Commons area provide students with a quiet space to focus on their studies. With plenty of seating, natural light, and supportive staff, students often plan to meet and study with their friends in our Learning Commons.

Updated Second Grade Classrooms

Over the summer of 2022, each of our second grade classrooms was refurbished with new desks, carpets, and play spaces. Thanks to our generous donors, VCES plans to upgrade one grade’s classrooms each summer.

DESIGNATED FUNDS

In addition to annual giving to the Warrior Fund, donors with a heart for a specific cause can designate gifts to particular funds. Designated funds include the following:

Tuition Assistance

Our tuition assistance program is available to current and prospective students with demonstrated financial needs across all campuses. Tuition assistance allows qualified students to become Warriors and makes the Quest for Excellence possible for students of all socioeconomic backgrounds.

Teachers’ Assistance Fund

In partnership with the HAGE Foundation, the Teachers’ Assistance Fund was created in 2021 to support and retain high-quality teachers in our very high cost of living area. This new fund supports housing assistance and other important needs of our wonderful VCS faculty.

Wellness Initiative

The health and well-being of our students is essential for the Quest for Excellence. Over the past two years, VCS has dedicated itself to improving our mental health offerings. In the Fall of 2022, we have a new K-12 Director of Wellness, a team of therapy dogs who serve students each week, and dedicated spaces for students to quietly study or meet with friends and counselors. Donations will allow VCS to do even more to support the social and emotional wellbeing of our students.

Human Performance Center Equipment

The Human Performance Center (HPC) is currently under construction. Donations designated to Athletics will be used to fund the cost of new equipment for this facility. The HPC will be used by Athletics teams as well as junior high and high school classes.
