We love CVCS! We started in elementary and currently have kids in middle and high school. The teachers have expertise in their subjects and a love for the students. The classes are small allowing the teachers to know what each child needs. High School offers numerous AP classes as well as individualized academic planning for college.
My kids have participated in various electives including performing arts (The Little Mermaid Jr., Newsies - full Broadway version, etc.), culinary arts, financial planning, and more. Trips to Sacramento in 4th Grade and the East Coast in 8th grade bring what they are studying to life.
The high school sports programs are also top-notch. The teams consistently compete at the top of their leagues. The coaches care about the students and the teams have an amazing team atmosphere.
But the most important item that sets CVCS apart is the love for Christ that is evidenced in everything that they do. We gladly re-enroll our kids each year in this amazing school!

When schools shut down during Covid, my husband and I decided it was time for a change, and we could not be happier with our decision. Our children are happy with the decision too! The college-prep education they are receiving at CVCS is on the same level as any public school in the area. But there is so much more that I appreciate about the school. The Christ-centered approach aligns with my family’s values, and I am so happy for that influence in their day to day lives. The teachers and administration are dedicated to knowing my children and developing their character. Class sizes are small, and there are many options for different elective classes. All of the sports programs are competitive in their leagues, and both of my kids have found their place and are excelling. I wish we had made the move years earlier!
After touring CVCS with my oldest son, I had the opportunity to be a "fly on the wall" and watch my son interact with a friend on our street. The friend said "Where were you?" My son stood real tall, pulled his shoulders back, puffed out his chest and exclaimed "I was checking out my new school! I'll be going to CVCS." Decision made, we enrolled in CVCS and have had an amazing experience. A year later we enrolled my youngest son and his experience has been exceptional. The attentive teachers and staff are amazing. Not only is it a great educational experience, it's a wonderful community. It's an environment where the students feel safe to explore and try new things - one example is many athletes finding their unknown talents in the performing arts. Take a tour of CVCS. It won't disappoint.
