Why Do Families Choose Capistrano Valley Christian Schools?

Values Alignment

You shouldn’t have to choose between academic excellence and biblical values. At CVCS, your child receives both—an exceptional education grounded in the truth you live at home.

Christ-Centered

Because Christ is at the center of everything we do, your child is known, loved, and guided to grow in faith, character, and academic excellence.

Close-Knit Community and Campus Culture

Our families experience a welcoming atmosphere, abundant engagement opportunities, and a sense of belonging.

The 529 plan is a tax-advantaged account that allows families to save for educational expenses. It is an educational savings plan that can be used for qualified higher educational costs with contributions made on an after-tax basis and allows earnings to grow tax-free when used for educational expenses.

We're pleased to announce a new provision in the tax bill that expands the use of the 529 plan. Under this change, families can now withdraw up to $10,000 per year per child to pay for private or religious school tuition and still enjoy the same tax benefits.

Please consult with a tax professional to understand how this change may impact your individual situation and provide a tax benefit for you and your family.
