Vineyard Christian School, PK-12 (Private)

NO ! NOT THIS SCHOOL AT ALL !!! This school is completely MONEY first , not children first . If you can afford to donate lots of money , then your kids will be treated specially and became teacher's favor kids. My daughter has been verbally and physically bullied by other girls in the class , but teacher has never really tried to solve the problem. My daughter came home everyday with tear and I reported it to teacher and never got any positive response . I guess my daughter just isn't one of teacher's pet. Academically, this school is way behind any of private or public school because teachers are very tired of teaching everyday. There are many Christian school out there , do not choose this one because you will pay the money for nothing at all ! after 4 months in this school . Me and my friend will pull our kids out from this school and end this mistake. We feel like we want to run away from this school as far as we can . They do not make a good example how Juses want us to treat others . With Lord in our heart , we do not recommend this school to any of Christian. From an unhappy mother.

Vineyard Christian Preschool and Elementary School offer so much more than great academics. They instill in children a desire to be a valuable memebr of society, to minister to those in need, to be honoring and obediant to their parents and seek God in all things. This is the core of the school that I love and will always recommend highly. For those who are tired of crowded public school classrooms and teachers who don't care, Vineyard would be a breath of fresh air. Every teacher my children have had has invested time, encouragement and love in them. From calls home on the weekends to daily verbal communication at pick-up time, the teachers are always willing not only to talk, but to listen. Children leave Vineyard with a strong foundation of faith, and a college bound level of academic training. Their Open House is April 9th 7:00 - 8:30

I love this school. You will not be disappointed. The preschool is fabulous and the elementary school is outstanding. The teachers have such a care and concern for each student.

My children started attending this school when they were 2/3 years old. This is a fabulous school and I could not be happier. Academically it is a great school because they do not teach for the test, they are teaching the children knowledge and skills for life, this is huge and most schools do not teach this way from my experience in the academic world (my background) Also, they are extremely nurturing, supportive and encouraging in the children. The entire staff is fabulous. Additionally, the class size is amazing for students personal growth. the largest class size I have seen was 20 students. they just added a toddler program so that is a huge bonus for my baby that will attend.

This is a wonderful school. They have an amazing preschool staff/program and the kindergarten teachers are amazing. I have 3 little girls that attend and it has been a blessing since day one!

My daughter attends preschool at Vineyard Christian and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She has a wonderful teacher and the Preschool Director is caring and very involved in the children's day to day activities. There is a warm and caring atmosphere at this school, and somehow they manage to keep the classrooms remarkably clean and organized. I'm not sure that I can properly review academics, since my daughter is in preschool- but I am confident that she is developing a love of learning (and of school) that she will carry with her for the rest of her life.

I love the family atmosphere and feel very comfortable about my childs safety and well being at this school. However I do not feel that acedemically my child is offered the highest standard that a school can provide. I feel that I am paying for the comfort of a Christian private school and not for the quality education that I feel the school lacks.

Our 06-07 school year at Vineyard was disappointing. The teacher, while strong in teaching reading and math, did not do much to academically challenge or engage our child. Our child is not at level in all of California State standards due to inadequate teaching of the core cirriculum. The class atmosphere also left a lot to be desired. We also disagreed with some of the Bible lessons. We liked the school as a whole (great music, art, drama, computer and after-school programs), but's it true - one bad apple can ruin the barrell. We no longer feel we can trust Vineyard to provide a proper education.

Both my children have gone to Vineyard since they were 2/3 years old and attended the preschool and now the elementary school. Vineyard is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. The principal is kind and knows each child by name. He is a great example of a leader. Thank you Vineyard for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence they need to go out into the world!

Our child attended VCS from 3rd through 8th grade. It is a loving, caring and safe environment with teachers that are knowleagable and available to the parents. There is a high degree of parent involvement and the administration is always open to the parents suggestions and concerns. The principal, Jim Wilkinson is an excellent leader and the school continues to improve under his direction. My daughter loved the junior high sports programs and they have an awesome science and computer lab.
