Ventura County Christian School

The Student

The vision of Ventura County Christian is one of transforming and equipping. Any student who wishes to be a part of this community must be willing and ready to encounter the truth of Jesus Christ, to be transformed by it, and to be trained up to be a positive leader and witness to the gospel in his or her own way. The board and faculty of VCCS believe that all Christians should abound in wisdom, virtue, and knowledge. Therefore, a rigorous education experience in which students are challenged spiritually, physically, and intellectually is deemed key to raising up and preparing Christian individuals to “shine like stars in the universe.”

Because of the nature of our mission and vision for Christian education, the prospective student must indicate his or her willingness to support the school’s program of operation in word and deed, both inside and outside of school. It should be remembered that Ventura County Christian is not a school for students who are experiencing extreme difficulties in academics or behavior. The school therefore reserves the right to decline acceptance to any student who has been involved in a crime resulting in a conviction in a court of law; the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, or any tobacco products; sexual promiscuity; or other behavior that has resulted in expulsion or suspension from another school. Similarly, if an enrolled student at any point exhibits this kind of behavior or indicates an attitude opposed to the school’s vision and mission, he or she may be asked to withdraw.

Ventura County Christian has enabled hundreds of students to achieve their academic goals and to become citizens of their communities who are outstanding Christian examples and leaders to others.

The Process

The VCCS admissions process begins with the student and his or her parents filling out an application for enrollment. An application may be obtained at the school’s office. A non-refundable application fee of $50.00 must be submitted with the application.

The next step in the process is an interview with administration personnel. Ventura County Christian is very careful to admit students who share its vision for personal growth academically, physically, and spiritually. During the interview, both parents and child will be involved in a process of determination of the student’s needs and desires regarding his or her education, as well as his or her compatibility with our vision and standards of academic and spiritual excellence. (If you'd like to set up an interview appointment, call the office at (805) 641-0187 or click here to email the office.)

The following documents are also required as the school considers each applicant:

A current copy of CTBS or SAT scores
An unofficial copy of academic transcripts
A completed reference form from each of the following: pastor or youth pastor, a teacher from the past three years, an adult friend of the applicant

Once the student is accepted, he or she is required to sign our Standard of Conduct Agreement, a formal statement by which the student indicates his or her willingness to live according to the standards of VCCS at all times, in and out of school.
