Don't let summer become a season of educational loss. Give your child the gift of continued growth in a joyful, faith-filled environment.
At East Valley Christian School, our San Jose summer programs combine academic enrichment, spiritual development, and unforgettable fun—creating the perfect balance for students entering grades 1-8. Our carefully designed program prevents summer learning loss while fostering deeper faith and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Why Choose a Christian Summer Program in San Jose?
The Bay Area offers numerous summer options, but Christian summer programs provide unique advantages that support your child's holistic development:
- Seamless educational continuation that builds on school-year learning
- Consistent faith environment that reinforces your family's values
- Character development integrated throughout all activities
- Safe, nurturing community with qualified Christian educators
- Balanced approach to academics, physical activity, and creative exploration
Research shows that students typically lose 2-3 months of reading and math skills during summer break. Our San Jose summer program counters this "summer slide" while creating space for the joy and relaxation that make summer special.
