I just wanted to give a huge shout out. To Valley Christian…read moreAcademy Moreno Valley. My three kids grew up there from pre-k thru 8th grade. I have to honestly say that. The academics was amazing and due to the Love and life of Jesus taught to them... They truly " hid the Word in their hearts" as the bible tells us to. Honestly I could go on and on, but, I wanted to really wanted to share this: my grandson is 3 1/2 yes old. We weren't sure how he was gonna do in school.Because he is a bit rambunctious... Very much an active boy... But he is absolutely loving, loving loving it!! As a grandma.. I asked my son... So when did what do you have to say about his teachers... Is he enjoying it them?Or what did he have to say about them.... my son replied to me, " i asked him if he liked his teachers and he said, NO! ..... I LOVE THEM! " this is a true story, and this just happened the other day....I Busted out laughing with a big smile on my face and heart and literally got goosebumps... I would encourage any parent looking for a school that truly cares and will love and teach their children with Christ being in the center of all of that. To contact, Valley Christian Academy Moreno Valley. XOXO

Let me start by saying I am a mother and professional, I had 2 children that I gave birth in my…read moreolder years and fortunate to be a stay-at-home work mom. I searched Riverside County for a small private school that embraced love for the Lord, love for my children, and academic excellence, I discovered Valley Christian Academy. I have 2 children both of whom are now in high school but each attended Valley Christian Academy. My daughter was at VCA from 1st to 8th Grade and graduated in June of 2022 and my son graduated in June of 2024. I am going to go down a quick list and give a brief overview of the teacher experience. Note: Throughout the years some of the staff has changed. Pre-K: Mrs. Sequiros and Mrs. Cruz: WE MISS YOU TWO!!!!!!: This dynamic duo allowed the introduction of educational games and fun. What I loved most was that they carefully inspected each child's lunch to ensure it was protein-health fueled and snack-efficient. My son was there every day for about 3 hours. Kindergarten: Mrs. Gray: Mrs. Gray was loving, unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to evaluate her teaching style because my son often cried to come home after 3 hours because he wanted to be with 'his mommy'. 1st grade: What I loved most about Mrs. Peacock's class was her sound and expertise ability to train the children on their alphabet and expand their learning abilities beyond their imagination; while still making every child feel as though they were a SUPERSTAR. 2nd Grade: Mrs. Harper: Mrs. Harper was my son's FAVORITE teacher, she attended his graduation and we anticipate seeing her at my son's high school graduation. Mrs. Harper's teaching style is simple and straightforward, all that needs to be done is to follow her direction and your child will surely succeed in her classroom. 3rd Grade: Mrs. Jones, AKA 'Mrs. J': Mrs. J is SUPER SUPER SUPER academically challenging in an excellent way. Mrs. 'J's' teaching method was fast-paced and unique, and I can assure you once your child takes a class from Mrs. J, they will already be talking about their futures. When your child graduates from Mrs. 'J's' class they will have a strong ability to read, write, and become mathematically efficient. Mrs. 'J' makes learning, fun, fun, and fun!!!!! 4th Grade: Mrs. Jones: Mrs. Jones has a very calming approach to teaching. Mrs. Jones is the type of teacher that if your child is not feeling well she will drop off a work assignment at your home. Mrs. Jones will go that extra mile. 5th Grade: Mrs. Mayer AKA 'THE MRS. MAYER': Mrs. Mayer commands respect and will respect you in return. There was no goofing around in her class whatsoever. Mrs. Mayer reminds me of an Army Captain, a Captain to whom every student's grade was earned. My daughter adored and loved Mrs. Mayer and did extremely well in her class. As for my son, he was a bit of a stinker, but they worked through it beautifully. For my son, Mrs. Mayer was more than a teacher but a disciplinarian who truly loved my son, whom she referred to as 'a leader'. 6th 7th & 8th: Mrs. Wong & Miss Michelle: You know those students that need help ALL the time, to the point where it is after school and the teacher needs to get home to their family, but they don't because you have a child or children in your class that need help on that last problem you assigned???? That teacher is Mrs. Wong, always there to make sure your child has a strong grasp on a subject matter, and if your child doesn't Mrs. Wong will let your child and you as the parent realize it, and then suggest several methods and ways that will lead to your child's academic improvement. Last but not least, Miss Michelle: Ok, she's the 'cool young teacher' all the kids love and want to hang out in her classroom anytime possible. Miss Michelle is charismatic and a good teacher, but also someone your child can lean on from-time-to time and when in need. Finally: Thank you Pastor Martin for always having your door open so anyone can talk to you at any time. Thank you for always incorporating HIS word and your testimony to those who listen. Sincerely, S & S's mom.

This happened at approximately 10 a.m. He was then forced to spend the rest of the day in the same classroom I never got a phone call home I didn't find out what happened until he came home from school around 430 from the after school program and he told me what happened I went immediately down to the school and Mr Jones stood up for the teacher!!!!

Before my son even officially started school here, the front office made four major mistakes -- and…read moreevery single one was met with deflection, no apology, and no accountability. Mistake 1: I showed up for a tour that was advertised on the school's social media and that I had already spoken to staff about. The front desk told me there were no tours. I had to pull up the flyer and insist, only to be treated like I didn't know what I was talking about. Instead of admitting the mistake, the staff member took a personal call in my face before telling me to sit down. Mistake 2: I enrolled my son in kindergarten, but was told he was placed in TK because of his age. I had to explain the cutoff and prove he would be 5 in time. They confirmed it later but never told me directly or admitted the error. Mistake 3: At teacher night, my son's name wasn't on the kindergarten list. I was told he wasn't enrolled -- after I'd enrolled him in April. I had to suggest they check the TK list (again) where they had put him by mistake. No apology, just "go figure it out." Mistake 4: On the first day of school, I was told I already picked up my son's two free shirts. I had not -- and I never even filled out a size ticket for them to mark me off. I finally got the shirts today, but only after being treated like it was some favor they were doing for me. Here's the problem: This is why mistakes keep happening -- no one is taking ownership, so no one is changing their approach. Every time something goes wrong, it's brushed off or the blame is put on parents. The principal and my son's teacher have been great, but the front office sets the tone -- and the tone here is disorganized, dismissive, and resistant to parents advocating for themselves. It feels like they work with a certain demographic and aren't used to families expecting better. The parents stand on campus cursing, wearing crop tops and booty shorts and the school doesn't raise a standard of no acceptance of this behavior. Thankfully, I didn't pull my son from another school we were accepted to. We're transferring immediately. This place has been nothing but a headache before the year even started, and trust was broken before it could even be built. It seems some of the teachers and the principal is decent, but it's not enough weight pulled to bypass the incompetence.
