How We Began | Over 40 Years of Success
North Valley Christian School started in 1974 with only a handful of students. It didn’t take long for the school to grow and today our students come from many communities and diverse backgrounds.
Core Values That Nurture an Environment for Learning
As a school founded upon Christian principles, our core values include acceptance, humility, and compassion that foster a learning environment that is loving, family-oriented and allows students to flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.

Our Alumni
As part of North Valley Christian School’s mission to provide an atmosphere where lifelong relationships are established, many of our alumni still maintain close contact with us, even though they are busy pursuing varied careers and educational goals. We hold Alumni Nights at which our past graduates welcome the new graduating class into their ranks. Such times allow past and present students to strengthen their relationships, share experiences, and honor the new graduates. Our alumni are a strong force in creating the curriculum through their input, guest speaking visits, and continued support of North Valley Christian School.
