Academics
We are serious about our mission to "empower learners to to achieve their highest potential through Christ-centered educational excellence by courageously engaging in God’s redemptive work throughout our world." Learning at MVC is much more than memorizing content. It is more than getting a grade. We stir and nurture the hearts and minds of each student with meaningful and life-giving learning experiences.
At Monte Vista Christian School, academics are rooted in purpose. For nearly a century, we have partnered with families to cultivate curious minds, strong character, and a lifelong love of learning—preparing students not only for academic success, but for lives of faith, leadership, and service.
From foundational skills in the early years to advanced college-preparatory and IB opportunities in high school, MVC provides a thoughtful, developmentally intentional academic journey for every student.
Lower Grades
A Strong Foundation for a Lifetime of Learning
In the Lower Grades, students develop essential academic skills in a nurturing, structured environment.
Emphasis is placed on curiosity, creativity, and confidence as students build strong foundations in reading, writing, math, and faith-based learning.
Middle School
Growing Independence, Purpose, and Skill
Middle School at MVC is a time of growth academically, socially, and spiritually.
Through our Middle Years Program (MYP), students are encouraged to think critically, take ownership of their learning, and explore their interests, all while being supported by caring faculty who understand this important stage of development.
High School
Preparing for College, Calling, and Life
Our High School program offers a rigorous, college-preparatory education designed to challenge students and equip them for life beyond graduation. With our International Baccalaureate program, dual credit opportunities, and intentional academic counseling, students graduate prepared for higher education and confident in their purpose. 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.
