Vision & Mission
“Developing each child to their full potential in Christ.”

MISSION STATEMENT
Yucaipa Christian School is committed, in partnership with the home and the church, to thoroughly develop the child in his/her spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and physical needs through a balanced, Christ-centered, quality education based on the Truth of God’s Word.

It has always been a part of God's plan that parents are ultimately responsible for the education and development of their children (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Ephesians 6). As a campus of Yucaipa Valley Christian School District, the general purpose of Yucaipa Christian School is to assist parents with this God-given responsibility and to assist the student in discovering and developing his individual uniqueness and talents. YCS will establish and guide learning experiences that will assist each student to become a maturing Christian, and eventually a responsible and productive member of society.
