School Notes Overview: |
You can feel it on the grounds, in the hallways and the classrooms, the laboratories, the dorms, and the athletic fields. Something is different here. It crackles. It pulses. It’s unique to MVCS, and it’s no accident.
There’s a certain energy, an uncommon confidence, a sense of optimism and a pride of accomplishment that empowers even the youngest student at Monte Vista Christian School.
It’s difficult to describe and impossible to contain. It’s what makes our school so unique.
Founded in 1926, MVCS is located in the heart of the Monterey Bay area of Central California.
