WVCS Preschool Christmas Concert 2013, West Hills Christian, private school near Woodland Hills

West Hills Preschool and private school, serving 2 year olds through Transitional Kindergarten, is home of West Valley Christian located in San Fernando Valley near Chatsworth, Canoga Park, Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks, Panorama City, Tarzana, Encino, Calabasas, Northridge, Reseda and Winnetka. Through the acclaimed Kids with Character program, students learn the importance of honesty, responsibility, respect and other essential life values. Art curriculum, music and drama instruction instill an appreciation for the fine and performing arts. In addition to regular PE classes, students learn sportsmanship and teamwork in WVC athletics programs. As a Christian school we have an open enrollment welcoming families of all backgrounds with over 50% of families qualifying for up to 70% tuition assistance.
Performing Arts class is during elective periods. We continue to strive toward an unseen finish line, measuring our progress in quartiles and percentages but also in the intangible "Aha!" moments of a child's educational journey. As we work together to lead WVCS into the 21st century, we are aware of just how little we know about the future that awaits our students. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are necessary components of a good education, but tomorrow's leaders will need more. They will need strong communication and collaboration skills. They must be capable of independent thought, relying upon their imagination and creativity to solve problems. And they will need the skills to understand and engage with a global community.
We are incredibly proud of the teachers and staff whose passion is reflected in their love for your children, and the students whose hard work and talent is impossible to ignore. We remain committed to ensuring our students receive the instruction, encouragement, and inspiration they need to make a difference in our rapidly changing world.
Our increase in enrollment has new students entering at all grade levels from Preschool through 12th grade. Our students welcome diversity and are not afraid to be themselves. They are appreciated for their individual identity, participate in activities they may have never considered before, and develop strengths they never thought they had. West Valley is a thriving place to be and I am incredibly excited to share it with you.
To ensure a commitment to the most rigorous educational program we are replacing the outdated norms of Stanford achievement tests with the superior Common Core standards. To further our commitment to excellence, our school will continue to be accredited by WASC, keep class sizes under 25 students, allow students to use their own one-to-one tablets, and will continue to teach with iPads and interactive boards. Our campus facilities include new buildings, spacious playgrounds, green space, security cameras, gated entrance, nutritional food, computer lab, library, performing arts auditorium and a 9,000 sq. ft. gym with weight room.
With Virtual Desktops, Acuity, Velocity, Elite Basketball, and Carnegie Education, and a Theater Arts School, I am confident that WVCS has a bright future in West Hills! I invite you to come see the difference yourself! All these programs are featured on You Tube. Search: WVCS Discover the Difference, WVCS Velocity, WVCS Acuity and WVCS Elite Basketball.
