Apple Valley Christian

This is no longer a good school to have your children in. It used to be about 4 years ago. The non-Christian, dictatorship style of leadership has gotten way out of hand and has even caused problems between the school and the church. The teachers are not qualified and the school does not even offer Spanish or computer classes. They are behind in their cirriculum. My children are so unhappy that they have begged me to remove them. I have. I could no longer justify leaving them there. It would be irresponsible of me as a parent.

A.V.C.S. has been a great strong hold and foundation for who I have come to be. Their faculty is exceptional, very qualified and personal; their academics and sports are wonderful; and their offered product, 'Training Christian leaders commited to excellence', is a very pertinent result.

I go to this school and I love it

Apple Valley Christian school is the answer to our prayers. Our family wanted a school that taught children to love learning, while helping them grow spiritually. AV public schools taught our children to take tests in LA and Math and how to answer fill in the blank answers, but here at AVCS our children are receiving a well rounded academic program of music, art, science, math, LA, history and bible. They have learned to think and answer thoughtful questions. WASC and ACSI agree giving a 6 year accreditation this 2006-2007 school year. The school is focused on building Christian character, evidenced by the teachers. They are the best we've ever seen. That's saying a lot because the teachers in AV unified were great. We have seen the benefit of tying together every aspect of education under the larger package of God's revelation of His truth in the bible.

My daughter went to this school for her first three years. Each year I saw a decline in quality and quantity of instruction. Art and Music being dropped. Class sizes were getting larger each year, too. What finally got us to leave wasn't even in our control. We were told by a high ranking person that they were holding a spot for our daughter for the following year and that they would call us if it appeared the class was filling up. They usually called previous students family for the new year. Well, we turned in our application with the full years tuition paid in full only to receive a call from this same person that they have to deny our application. The reason? The class is full. Needless to say, we were shocked. I guess it was for the best since it's going downhill fast.

I feel that the school did not provide across the board discipline when it came to students of teachers or board members of the church.

My nephew has attended school at A.V.C.S. For the past 4 years and my grandson has been there for three years. The quality of education is excellent. Both boys are very happy there and have many friends who attend also. My nephew will graduate this year and will continue his education at a christian college. This school provides a solid educational foundation for its students and a good christian education that will carry them through life. If i still had children at home i would not hesitate to start them out at A.V.C.S. And see them through to their graduation.

This is a great school. The administration and office staff are fantastic! They really care about the students. You get personal attention and your student doesn't get lost in the crowd. I now have two children attending AVCS and am so blessed to have them there!
