Day Tuition
As the parent of a rising 6th-12th grader, you know the importance (and influence) of your child’s learning environment. You recognize these are significant years in his or her development and will impact their trajectory for college, career, and all of their adult life.
At Monte Vista Christian School, we work constantly to create an environment where students thrive. We know you want to see your child excel as they build confidence and develop the skills they need for life. That's why so many families have chosen to invest in their children by giving them a Monte Vista Christian education.
-
We keep Christ at the center of everything we do inside and outside the classroom
-
We pursue excellence in academics, athletics, the performing and visual arts, and character development
-
Our students are seen, known, and valued for who they are, what they believe, where they’ve been, and where they’re going
-
Teach critical life skills through our IB framework, such as how to be principled, open-minded, inquisitive, and an excellent communicator

We are committed to making an excellent Christian education accessible to families in the Monterey Bay area as well as around the world. We recognize affordability is an important consideration for parents, which is why we offer financial aid for those families who need it.
A Mission-Oriented Approach to Tuition
Monte Vista Christian School has been offering faith- and values-based education grounded in Christian traditions and mission, serving families from multiple faith perspectives, since our founding in 1926. MVC was started by missionaries, Nell and R.O. Price, with a desire to provide children with an affordable education focused on Christian character and values, as well as academics and life skills. We continue to stay true to our history and tradition — making an exceptional Christian education accessible.
How much does MVC cost?
