Dear VCS Community,


VCHS Discovery Week: What Our Students Are Growing Toward


This week, we hosted our first-ever VCHS Discovery Week, culminating yesterday in High School Preview Night. While our primary focus was helping 8th grade families take a fresh look at the high school years ahead, we also wanted to share more broadly what is distinctive about VCHS and what students across VCS are ultimately growing toward.

Families had the opportunity to see a high school program built around several clear strengths:


  • Students are known personally. The average VCHS class this year includes just 13–14 students. At the major public high schools in Vacaville, approximately two out of every five core classes have as many as 32 students, while another one out of every five has 33 or more.


  • VCHS leads academically across Solano County. Our students led every public high school in the Solano County comparison in both reading and math (even when VCS students are measured against a more rigorous, nationally normed assessment), including a math result 21.7% above the strongest public-school result. 


  • Christian formation is fully integrated. Students are challenged to grow in wisdom, character, leadership, and faith, not simply to complete graduation requirements.


  • Students are prepared for what comes next. Students receive individualized planning for universities, skilled trades, careers, leadership, and life beyond VCS, while approximately one in five VCHS graduates continues into collegiate athletics.



We are incredibly proud of our preschool, elementary, and middle school programs, and VCHS is the culmination of the educational experience we are building across VCS. Families deserve to understand where their children’s education is leading, and Discovery Week gave us a wonderful opportunity to share the strength, direction, and outcomes of our high school program.

Parent Surveys Close This Weekend


Thank you to the many families who have already completed our parent surveys! Your participation and candid feedback are helping us evaluate our programs and plan well for the future. If you haven’t yet participated, please take a few minutes to complete the appropriate survey before it closes this weekend.

Thank you,


Ben Davis
