Frequently Asked Questions
What grades does WVCS serve?
We have preschool (ages 3 & 4) through 12th grade.
How old does my child need to be to start preschool or kindergarten?
Preschool students need to have turned 3 by September 1st. They must also be potty-trained.
Kindergarten students need to have turned 5 by September 1st.
How much does it cost?
Tuition varies depending on the grade level. Our tuition schedule may be found here. We do have financial assistance available, and there is a discount for early payment as well as having multiple children at WVCS.
What curriculum do you use?
WVCS uses a variety of materials, all taught with a Biblical worldview. Please contact the office if you would like to view our materials or set up a time to speak with our Administrator.
Are you affiliated with a church?
WVCS is an independent, non-denominational school. Our families represent 30+ Christian churches in the area, but the school is not affiliated with a church.
Do you use standardized testing?
WVCS uses the Maps tests through ACSI for students in grades 1 through 10. Our 11th grade students take the PSAT.
Will a graduate of WVCS be able to attend a state or college university?
YES! WVCS requires more than what the state of Oregon requires to receive a diploma. Our College-Prep Diploma is accepted at any college or university in the United States. WVCS is accredited through COGNIA and is a member of ACSI. Additionally, our juniors and seniors have the opportunity to earn College-Concurrent Credit through Northwest Nazarene University at an additional cost.
Can I volunteer in my child's classroom?
Yes - we have a volunteer program called Friends of the School (FOS) in which families volunteer 50 hours of service in lieu of a $500
non-participation fee (25 hours for 1/2 day Kindergarten and 25 hours for single parents. Preschool families are exempt).
There are a number of ways you may volunteer including (but not limited to):
* Serving on the Auction Committee
* Bringing staff treats (Fridays)
* Driving students to/from field trips and/or athletic events
* Campus Clean-Up Days
* Speaking to our Career Ed students
* Purchasing Scrip
* Working in elementary classrooms
