VCS has a rich 50+ year legacy of Christian education in the East Bay, serving students from 6 weeks old through high school graduation. Students experience a college preparatory education alongside deep and intentional development of the whole child, both in and out of the classroom.
Our Admissions Team looks forward to partnering with you as you explore Valley Christian School for your family. We are excited to get to know your family as we walk you through each step of the admission process.

All applicants and at least one parent will interview with a member of our Admission Committee.
The very best way to get to know a community is to experience it yourself. We would love the opportunity to show you our campus, introduce you to faculty, and answer all of your questions.
Personal tours and visits can be scheduled any weekday. To schedule your personal tour or attend one of our Admission events, such as Explore VCS, click HERE.
You can also call the Admissions Office (TK-Grade 12) at 925.560.6262 or email HERE.

The interview is simply a time for the Admissions Committee to get to know each applicant and his or her family better. This is also a valuable time to address any remaining questions the applicant may have. Applicants should not be nervous about the interview; this time together is a casual conversation that helps us get to know each applicant on a deeper level than we could through just the application. All interviews are conducted by a member of the Admissions Committee and last no more than thirty minutes. To ensure that interviews are effective, they will always be scheduled as the final piece of the application process.
The Valley Christian Admissions Committee reviews all applications holistically. We are looking for students with academic records that show their readiness for success at VCS; however; this is not determined by one specific piece of a student’s file. We welcome all applications and look forward to the opportunity to get to know each family.
Once the whole application file is complete (online application, supplemental materials, and interview) the Admissions Committee will communicate an admission decision within two weeks. All admission decisions are published on your Admission Portal.
Once the admission decision has been published on a student’s Admission Portal, families are able to choose a payment plan, sign the enrollment contract, register for AutoPay, and pay the $500 enrollment fee and $500 tuition deposit to reserve the student’s spot at VCS.
Families can begin the FACTS application for tuition assistance at the same time they are completing the admission application. However, the Finance Committee only reviews FACTS applications for enrolled students. Click HERE to access the FACTS application.
Valley Christian Schools welcome international students in our mission to provide a college preparatory education from an evangelical Christian worldview. Our goal is to equip students with the skills they need to flourish spiritually, excel academically, succeed in their careers, and thrive in human relationships. Our international student candidates are exemplary in academic performance, proficient in English, and suited for a rigorous academic climate centered on the teachings of Christ.
All international students entering grades 6-11 must apply through our partner organization, Wheaton Academy Global Network. Please note: There is a one-time $5000 processing fee for all international students (grades 6-11) who are admitted to Valley Christian Schools through WA Global Network.
