Learn more about what we offer, including school culture, academic offerings, High School prep, and campus safety in our Middle School.
The impact Monte Vista Middle School has had on my life has been huge, as I learned important 21st century skills that any successful learner would need. This includes strong presentation skills, organizational skills, a mastery of technology and self-management skills. Not only were my years in Monte Vista Middle School fun, but they were also challenging. That challenge was channeled into growth. This was because of the environment on Monte Vista’s beautiful campus and the truly family-type community and care. Everyone on this campus truly cares about and for you.
I grew to be a stronger student and learner.

A Safe Environment for Learning and Growing
At MVC, we take our students’ safety — physical and emotional— very seriously. Our gated campus has trained security personnel on duty whenever school is in session. Creating a culture of kindness and respect is a core value of our Middle School culture. We have a Care Team, which includes a full-time licensed school nurse, dean of students, and mental health therapist, who are all dedicated to the needs of our students.
Creating Culture at MVC
OUR Distinctives
Take a deeper dive into what sets Monte Vista Christian Middle School apart: our commitment to academic excellence and student growth, offering rich opportunities for leadership, passion-driven learning, and skill development.
Exceptional Teachers
Our educators share a desire to honor God in their work and invest in their students' lives. MVC Middle Schoolers are truly known by their teachers, a relationship that is foundational to learning and reflects the love of God. We offer small class sizes where students are not only able to receive individual attention academically, but also mentorship to ensure they are doing well emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
Athletics
With 16 different High School and 7 different Middle School sport offerings, there is no shortage of opportunity for students to develop teamwork skills, sportsmanship, and Christ-like character. Over 65% of our students are part of an athletic team, and MVC has had over 50 student-athletes compete at the collegiate level in the past ten years, from D1 through NAIA.
International Baccalaureate World School
Our college-preparatory IB program is an opportunity for exploration, discovery, and inquiry. Lots of hands-on, project-based learning takes place in our classrooms, labs, and creative spaces as students explore the core subject areas.
Students learn best by asking, answering, and exploring thought-provoking questions. This inquiry-based approach develops exceptional communicators, idea-generators, and problem solvers who don’t shy away from challenges or obstacles.
Leadership Opportunities
Middle school students participate in California Junior Scholarship Federation (CJSF), take on responsibilities through student leadership positions, and lead on and off the field or court as student-athletes.
Electives, Extracurriculars, & Fine Arts
MVC Middle Schoolers discover new talents, passions, and possible career paths as they choose electives that interest them — art, ceramics, Makerspace, photography, equestrian, power skills, choir, beginning guitar, digital video, theatre, and voice.
Artistic opportunities also abound at MVC — theatre, visual arts, instrumental and vocal music empower students to pursue their God-given talents and cultivate lifelong passions.
Teaching Accountability & Increasing Autonomy
Guidance counselors work on goal-setting one-on-one with students throughout the year. Self-advocacy and self-management are explicitly taught through ACCT periods — a time dedicated to students advocating for their learning needs by seeing their teachers for extra help as well as a time for chapel, clubs, and tutorials.
We want to invite you into a community that empowers you to reach your highest potential in whatever you do. See why parents are choosing Monte Vista Christian School by downloading the Parent Inquiry Guide and learn how to apply below.
