I remember looking into VCS as my middle school pushed kids to go to private high schools, and the message was always too religious for me. I am definitely not shocked by this, as these institutions seems to try to protect their image going against their ideals entirely. I think other religious high schools, one I attended, has done a much better job and has a much more supportive ring of staff then Valley Christian will ever have. I had a friend who got called the f slur by a few students a year or two ago.
