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.

My son went to school here from 2nd-5th grade. He had moved over from a different district and the…read moretransition was hard at first. Avalon is HEAVY on the electronics. Everything is done via their school computer, including daily homework. This was an adjustment at first but once he got accustomed it was not an issue. Towards 5th grade, they actually started assigning some homework and assignment via hard copies. The atmosphere is great! Lots of extracurricular activities that kids can be a part of such as sports, band, cheerleading, etc. The school also puts out several school events throughout the year. Too many of you ask me but the kids enjoy them. My son never experienced any negativity at this school however I will say that there are some teachers in which he excelled with. Mr. Solorio was his favorite teacher and with good reason. He really cares about his students and ensures that all his students excel academically and socially. He goes out of his way to make sure that students feel proud of themselves and accomplished. All schools need a Mr.Solorio!! Only downside for us was the drop off/pick up line. No matter how many times they tell drivers not to park and get out of their vehicles, they never listen which cause the lines to get backed up. You're better off parking and walking to get your child.

- Friendly staff who genuinely care about their students. -…read moresmall class sizes = more attention, less stressed staff Recommendation: The students here receive more attention and are treated with special care, I would definitely recommend this school to parents who feel their child with special needs or intellectual disabilities are being over looked and not educated to a higher standard in general public schools. The enrollment process is very fast and the principal, Dr. Karwan creates a rapport with all the students that attend. I will say this campus gave me all the educational tools necessary to learn: free laptop (to take home and complete online studies), and a PUMA backpack with school emblem sewn on it.The teachers and counselors worked with me to create a schedule that allowed me to attend my college courses and care for my sibling at home. I will say you do have to put your foot down and remind counselors and teachers of your set contract and agreement of your graduation date, mine was pushed back for 2-3 months and that affected my college education. I learned subjects at my own pace and it furthered my understanding of what it meant to be college-ready and become an adult. In many ways the literature assigned to me broadened my views on society, the justice system, and financial management. While attending here I was being rewarded with awards during my short time here.After the school year ended students were allowed to purchase the out-dated laptops from the campus and I still use that laptop today! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here as well as my education. Teachers try to create this bubble for seniors and juniors that have skipped grades since attending there to really focus on studying, getting higher grades and test scores. This school does not tolerate tardiness. They will contact your family on the 2nd day of tardiness and may go as far as taking administrative actions against students enrollment. I attended this school to have flexible hours to support my family while attending college. I graduated with 11 other seniors and received praise and encouragement while attending as a concurrent enrollment student. Keep in mind that the students studying here that transferred from a regular public school, may loose some of the things that come with that public school experience such as: playgrounds (limited age play), school dances, school sport games, (limited variety of...)any clubs/extracurricular activities, Prom with former school, senior night with former school, regular Senior yearbook photos. This school is truly one of a kind. There is a nursing school on campus, a program for young adults with Disabilities and Special Needs and a regular K-12 grade level system that you can move up the grade scale by taking college credit courses and graduate early. Plenty of other students I met as a senior here took care of their families, started careers/jobs, and ran small businesses. I will note that, some teachers have +20 years of teaching experience. I would love the opportunity to send my children to a school like this someday. Thank You Val Verde Academy

Over the past 2 years what we have encountered in this school is troublesome. We have a teacher who calls the students stupid. Not to their faces, to other students! What a shining example for Ms the Newspaper/Yearbook and English teacher to set. One history teacher is not competent in a lot of his so called teachings as a history teacher. He even proceeded to argue with my child repeatedly over a political issue. He was giving the class misinformation. My daughter pulled up the accurate info, the info she was providing. The teacher simply stopped arguing but never apologized to the class or admitted to them he was wrong. This teacher promotes illegal immigration in the classroom. The office staff is not competent, they loose paperwork that students are required to turn in. This causes a lot of issues with grading, not only for the students but the teachers as well. A 9th grade English teacher does not allow students to turn in work late, even when they are sick and have been to the hospital over an illness. I find this unreasonable. How is a student who is that sick supposed to do their school work on time and be there to turn it in? One of the PE teachers likes to do female students hair and makeup during class time. This is not professional and it is not doing the job she is paid for. The students she does hair and makeup for are excused from playing sports in PE and they pass with an A. From what has been witnessed it is only the girls who are Hispanic that receive this attention and excuse from participating in PE. When the dance coach told my daughter to drop down like a whore for a dance move I was disgusted. I had to fight with the school to obtain a refund for the $500 fee for being on the dance team. I was originally excited for my daughter to attend this school. I was thinking this would be a great educational opportunity. I sadly see that I was mistaken. If you ever consider buying ad space in the school paper or yearbook think twice about it. We have had nothing but trouble and threats over it. A refusal to place the ad we want and refusal to refund the money we spent on the ad space.
