Monte Vista Christian School
Through a diverse array of rigorous, college preparatory and IB courses, our dedicated faculty foster dynamic learning environments within small classes. Learners are prepared to meet the entrance requirements of the University of California. Our graduates apply to and are accepted by the most selective colleges and universities. Perhaps most importantly, they are prepared to learn, love, and lead well.
Competing in athletics helps student-athletes challenge themselves, learn to work as part of a team, and develop leadership lessons that transfer towards long-term life goals while being Christ-centered in everything they do. We are proud of our coaches, student-athletes, and parents who are part of our athletics community and we are all working hard together to make the experience a great one for all involved.
MVC learners love to create. They tell stories through acting and produce show-stopping musicals. Voices soar in our choirs and instruments make music in our Mustang Band. Learners follow their passion in painting, photography, film, and graphic arts. As people made in the image of an amazing Creator, it’s no wonder we create. MVC honors and nurtures the art of creating.
