School Reviews

Our son started at Valley in 5th grade which was a smooth transition from a Classical Homeschool environment. He has kept his high academic grades and participates in extracurricular activities such as basketball, baseball, and band. For the last three years he has been a part of the performing arts program in Seussical Musical, Annie Jr., and Sound of Music. He has participated in dual enrollment classes in 10th grade and will continue through his Junior year. We value the Biblical Worldview in all subjects and that they have a weekly chapel. The community of families has been a blessing and we are very thankful to have such incredible teachers and leadership whose goal is to raise Godly leaders.

This is our second year at Valley Fellowship. My children are in the elementary and middle school grades. I have been thoroughly impressed with the partnership we have with the teachers and staff. My children are challenged and have projects and homework that are well thought out and meaningful. They also participate in the school sports and extracurricular programs, which has created a real sense of community for us.

VFCA has done a fantastic job with my 2 children. They are learning and being spiritually enriched daily. The administration truly cares and gets to know each one of their students. It is a safe a loving place where I don't have to worry about my children. There's a real partnership between parent/teacher/administrator as you tackle challenges together. You can't find anything better in Huntsville!

I have been continually impressed at Valley Fellowships commitment to families and children who desire a Christian education. We have been particularly blessed in their partnership with us as we have a very strong-willed son who has ADHD and a learning disorder called dysgraphia. The staff has been amazing and dedicated to helping him. We have seen dramatic improvements in him since he joined the school in K5. He will be going into 2nd grade and now, my husband (who didn't want to pay for a Christian education at first) and I are committed to remaining with Valley for the long haul. Our kids deserve it.

I like the way that the school is run. I think it says a lot when the parents like their school's administration, and that is what I have at Valley Fellowship Christian Academy.

VFCA focuses on raising leaders in a safe and caring environment. I recommend them to everybody in search of a great school.
