History of Valley Christian School

Valley Christian School offers a Biblically-based education to students in grades 3-year-old, preschool - 12th grade. We have been serving Missoula and the surrounding communities for 45 years and counting. Our campus is nestled in beautiful Missoula, MT, spread over two blocks and contained in three buildings. 

Valley Christian is an interdenominational, private Christian school who believe a solid Biblical foundation is essential for building a strong educational and spiritual future.  At Valley Christian School we desire to partner with families in the building of this foundation.  Our students have the opportunity to excel academically while in the care of certified and capable educators.  Our teachers believe that God has uniquely placed them at Valley Christian School in a position of ministry to the body of Christ.  Guided by these teachers, children are encouraged to develop disciplined learning habits, positive social skills, and Christ-like attitudes and values. 

Working together, the Christian home, church, and school present a “triple braided cord” (Ecc 4:12) that is not easily broken.  This triple braided cord serves as the foundation for our “One Voice Model”; creating an atmosphere where children are hearing One Voice, the same voice - at home, in church and at school.
 

Our Mission Statement

Valley Christian School exists to partner with Christian families who desire educational excellence, taught through a Biblical worldview, so their children will be prepared for a lifetime of authentic faithfulness and service to Jesus Christ.

Brief History of Valley Christian School 

In 1978, our school founders met with the mission to create a school environment where the Bible would be the book by which all academic experiences would be evaluated. On July 20th of that year, they signed the incorporation papers for Valley Christian School. 

On September 4, 1979, we opened our doors to 50 Kindergarten - 6th grade students. In 1986, seven years later, our first graduating class walked the aisle. Since then, more than 800 students have graduated from Valley Christian School.
