Capistrano Valley Christian Schools

Capistrano Valley Christian School is located in southern California just south of Los Angeles. The campus is situated in a nice residential area just one mile from the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean.

Over the past 31 years, CVCS has grown into a school of over 600 students, has added classrooms and other facilities, and most recently has completed renovations to several resources including the Worship Center, the Media Center, the playground, and has improved traffic flow through the campus.

The school’s stated vision is that “CVCS exists to provide a loving, comprehensive, Christ-centered educational program, challenging students spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially, encouraging a lifestyle that integrates Biblical truths.”

CVCS is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC), which are accrediting associations approved by the State of California's Department of Education.
