Mission & Values

We empower learners to achieve their highest potential through Christ-centered educational excellence by courageously engaging in God’s redemptive work throughout our world.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

 

OUr Values

Make Christ KNown

We share our passion for Jesus in all we do.

 

​​I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
Romans 1:16a

See Every person

We value, care for, and serve each person.

 

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 

Philippians 2:3-4

CRAFT BEAUTY

 

We work & revise, until we can call it beautiful.

 

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. 

Colossians 3:23

LAUGH TOGETHER

 

We share joy, encouragement, and delight.

 

Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.

Romans 12:15

“Keeping our eyes on JESUS, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith.”

Hebrews 12:2 | MVC School Verse

 

EXPECTED STUDENT OUTCOMES

 

 

 

Empowered learners at MVC are caring, courageous, principled, balanced, inquirers, thinkers, open-minded, knowledgeable, reflective, and communicators. These are our expected student outcomes and the portrait of an MVC graduate.

Inquirers

We delight in discovering God’s world. As we ask questions, we look to God and Scripture to gain wisdom, discern truth from error, and find created purpose and order.

 

Communicators

We build trusting relationships with God and others through honest, humble, kind, and balanced communication. We learn to speak/write powerfully and beautifully with words and visuals.

Thinkers

We develop biblical thinking skills to determine what is true and ethical based upon the sure foundation of Christ and Scripture, not upon the shifting sands of culture and feelings.

Principled

We seek to live rightly, according to God’s Word, and have nothing to hide. When wrong, we confess and apologize. We treat others as more important than ourselves and try to live at peace with everyone.

 

Open-Minded

We value all people as reflections of God’s mind/character/beauty. We seek to understand and respect all. When we disagree, we engage conflict humbly and lovingly. Ultimately, we want minds open to/by/for Christ.

 

Courageous

Grounded in Christ, we stand up for truth, protect others, pursue justice, and expose darkness in order to love our neighbors (locally and globally) as ourselves. We do not fear failure, but use it as an opportunity to learn.

 

Knowledgeable

We are literate with key knowledge and competent to learn more; we turn knowledge into wisdom as we apply our learning to solve real problems and participate in Christ’s restoration of the world.

 

Reflective

We ask ongoing questions about who we are and what we do. We humbly invite feedback and lovingly offer pushback so that we and others might achieve our highest potential (in every area of life).

 

Caring

We go beyond ourselves and show Christ’s kindness to others -- laying our lives down for them. We sincerely care for people and also care about the work we do.

 

Balanced

We nurture our spiritual lives, making sure no created thing rules over us. We practice time management, rest, self-control, and priority-setting in line with the gifts God gives us. We seek healthy social lives and balance in every conversation.

 

 

“Fidei Defensor” 

 

 

Our motto at Monte Vista Christian School is "Fidei Defensor" which means "defender of the faith."
