SVCS Jr. High School Academics

Jr. High School Academics

Monday - Friday

8:00 am - 2:35 pm

The Junior High at SVCS offers a Christ-centered and college-prep curriculum. Experienced and qualified teachers lead a program that emphasizes excellence in the core areas of Bible, English, math, science, history, and foreign language. Students also have the opportunity to explore their talents in the visual and performing arts, computer science, physical education, and athletics. Students can serve their school and community through ASB, National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and outreach opportunities.

The textbooks used at SVCS are evaluated as part of a regular, on-going cycle. Evaluations take into account the quality and thoroughness of the texts. As a general rule, SVCS examines the textbooks used in the public system and does so after they have been in use for one year (to allow time for substandard books to be “weeded out.”) If a text passes the one-year test in the public system, it will then be considered for use at SVCS. However, it will only be used if the curriculum evaluators determine that it is appropriate for the school. This high standard of textbook evaluation, coupled with our faculty’s ability to interject a Christian worldview, provides a solid academic experience for our students. A sampling of textbook publishers currently being used in the Junior High includes Bob Jones Press, Glencoe, McDougal Littell, and Prentice Hall.

College prep and Honors programs (including UC-approved classes with High School credit) are available. For a complete description of courses, click here to view the most recent Jr/Sr High Curriculum Guide.
