Academics

The single most important objective of CVCS is the spiritual shepherding of our students.  The administration, faculty and staff recognize the daily pursuit of spiritual goals, using every opportunity presented during curricular and extracurricular activities to disciple students.

We recognize that each student is a unique creation with a potential known only by God.  Therefore, we shepherd our students' intellectual gifts by promoting high academic standards, while accommodating any special academic need within our ability to serve.  Our aim is to help our students realize their full academic potential by encouraging the desire to discover all the evidence of Himself that God has wired into all aspects of His creation.

Jesus calls us to live a Christian lifestyle in the midst of a world that does not recognize Him as Lord.  Because God's will is that all come to know Him, we are to be a light in the darkness illuminating the way to Him.  Our shepherding role with our students demands that we prepare them to live in a world that rejects God and His truth, without becoming of the world.  We challenge them, in the power of the Holy Spirit, to achieve their fullest potential socially within and beyond our walls by loving their world for Jesus.

Shepherding the physical potential of our students is an integral part of our educational program.  The human body that houses the Spirit and intellect must be properly cared for if a disciple of Christ is to impact the world for Him.  Through our athletics, physical education, health and lunch programs, your student will have ample opportunity to care for their bodies while attending Cole Valley Christian Schools.

We were created for relationship; first with God, then with others.  The health of our relationship with God determines our relationship with those around us.  If we are spiritually growing and being made daily into the image of Jesus Christ, then our relationships with others will be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  It is primarily through relationships that God evangelizes, using His disciples to make disciples.  At Cole Valley Christian, your student will be encouraged to pour into their relationships with God and others.

God created us not only in His outward image, but also in His inward likeness, which includes our emotions (Genesis 1:26). We reflect Jesus as we express our emotions in ways that honor Him. For middle and high school students, managing emotions can often be challenging. We recognize that at times students carry emotional “weights” with them to school that can hinder their learning, their relationships, and their spiritual growth. At Cole Valley, we provide a safe place for students to talk about how they are feeling and learn how to manage their emotions in healthy ways so that they can reach their full potential in the Lord in every aspect of their lives.  As we encourage healthy living in all of these areas, we have the privilege of seeing the Lord develop thriving, maturing students that bring Him glory.
