Welcome to Boarding

Greetings!  Welcome to the Residential Life community here at Monte Vista Christian School.  Our boarding program is designed to promote personal and academic growth based on the Core Values of our school.  Our goal is to help our students develop independence and personal responsibility while providing the individual attention and support necessary to do so.

One big difference between us and many other boarding schools is our Residential Life Staff.  Many schools ask teachers to do "dorm duty" in the evenings after they're exhausted from teaching a full day and coaching after school.  At MVCS, we have a full-time Resident Life Staff; they may substitute teach one or two classes during the month, but that's it.  Their main responsibility is after the school day ends.  This way, they have the energy to be an active presence every evening in our boarding students' lives.  Combined with our relatively small size, this means that students get a lot of personal attention and form very strong relationships with the staff.  Parents constantly tell us that they love how well we know and understand their children.

Please explore our website to learn more about our Boarding program.
