Excellence Verified: Our Commitment to Educational Standards

At East Valley Christian School, we hold ourselves to the highest educational standards. We are proud to be the only private Christian school in the Evergreen area of San Jose to hold both WASC and ACSI accreditations – the highest level of accreditation available to schools in California. These prestigious recognitions serve as external validation of our commitment to educational excellence and continuous improvement.

What Accreditation Means for Your Child

Accreditation is more than just a credential – it's a promise of quality. When you choose an accredited school like EVCS, you're selecting an institution that has undergone rigorous evaluation and demonstrated excellence across multiple dimensions:

Our curriculum and instructional practices meet or exceed established standards

Most importantly, accreditation means that your child's education at EVCS is recognized by other educational institutions, ensuring smooth transitions should your family relocate and providing a solid foundation for college applications.

Our Accreditations

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional associations that accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States. WASC accreditation is recognized nationwide and internationally as a mark of quality. The accreditation process involves a comprehensive self-study by our school community, an on-site visit by a team of educational professionals, detailed evaluation across multiple criteria, and regular reviews to ensure ongoing compliance and improvement. WASC accreditation confirms that EVCS offers a high-quality educational program, effective leadership, appropriate resources, and a commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.
ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) provides accreditation for faith-based institutions across the United States. This accreditation specifically evaluates how effectively we integrate our Christian mission with academic excellence. The ACSI accreditation process examines biblical integration across the curriculum, spiritual formation programs, Christian character development, the presence of qualified faculty with appropriate faith foundations, and integrity in operations and communications. Holding ACSI accreditation demonstrates that EVCS excels not only in academic preparation but also in developing students' spiritual lives and character.

The Value of Dual Accreditation

As the only private Christian school in our area with both WASC and ACSI accreditation, EVCS offers families the confidence of knowing our educational program has been thoroughly evaluated from both academic and faith-based perspectives.

This dual accreditation ensures that:

1.

Your child receives an education that meets recognized standards for college preparation

2.

Academic excellence is achieved within a framework of authentic Christian values

3.

Our school continuously evolves and improves in both academic and spiritual dimensions

4.

Credits and diplomas from EVCS are widely recognized and respected
