Vail Christian High School is dedicated to serving Underlying the school in all its facets is the desire to develop and nurture the Christian faith of its students. Christian values are taught and shared in such a way that students see relevancy to their own lives.

We view all knowledge and learning as potentials for God’s power and grace. Our curriculum is determined by the demands of a complex society and our goal of academic excellence. We focus on the needs and aptitudes of each of our students and they are challenged on a daily basis to develop their God-given talents. They are given opportunities to strengthen their skills and attitudes in order to make thoughtful Christian decisions and to take positive Christian actions as they live out varying roles in society as the children of God.

The courses in religion serve as the foundation for the student’s deepening quest for a more personal and mature relationship with God through Jesus Christ. The Bible is used as a source of inspiration and guidance at all times. By means of course work in Old Testament history, New Testament, Ethics & Morality/Comparative Religions, and Life Applications the students are exposed to the promises of Jesus, and the presence of the living Good News of Jesus Christ in their lives. The study of comparative religions is an important component of the theology curriculum. World religions are compared to Christianity, enabling students to have a firm understanding of their Christian faith.

Vail Christian understands that students come to us with differing beliefs and backgrounds and remains sensitive to those differences. Pastors from Christian churches throughout the Vail Valley are invited and actively participate in weekly chapel services at VCHS. We seek the support, involvement and input of the entire Christian community, and will always maintain a keen awareness to the various Christian traditions that are brought to the school.

In summary, the mission of Vail Christian High School is to embrace students of all faiths and backgrounds, and to serve the many congregations and communities throughout the Vail Valley by providing a quality college preparatory education in a Christian environment. To this end the name Vail Christian High School was chosen in order to reflect its vision as a school that serves the entire community.
