Campus Tours

At CVCS, we pride ourselves on providing the key components of an outstanding educational experience and the unique, intangible qualities that set us apart. Parents and students often share that there's a special energy felt upon entering our doors – a sense of openness and warmth that truly embodies our values and culture.

Our small class sizes foster this unique atmosphere, which ensures personalized attention, our highly skilled and experienced faculty, and our innovative, challenging TK–12 curriculum. Above all, it's our mission to equip students for life and leadership that makes the CVCS experience extraordinary.

Who is an "international" student?

A student will be considered "international'" for purposes of tuition and programmatic purposes if any of the following are true regardless of citizenship or permanent residency:

A student needs any kind of visa to attend school;
A student is not fluent in the English language;
A student needs a homestay. Students should complete the international application to determine status. The final determination will be made by the Admissions Committee prior to offering admission.

Note: International students in grades K-8 must live with a parent and cannot live in a homestay situation.
