I have two other students who have attended since Kindergarten. We choose to shift schools because, not only is Cole Valley academically rigorous, but they also care about the whole person and focus on preparing them for a future where they deeply think about how to impact their world for Christ. The elementary campus integrates creativity and fun into their courses by having themed units that incorporate all subjects into creative learning from which my boys really benefited. My students always felt loved and encouraged as they were pushed to rise to the high expectations that the teachers set. The teachers would give extra attention to help my sons overcome any hindrance to their potential. I appreciated the extra care they gave to communicate with me and involve me in those solutions. They set a solid foundation for my boys' faith in their elementary years. At the secondary level, students have an advisory mentor assigned to them to walk through 7th - 12th grades to examine life and faith. My boys have deeply appreciated these relationships. My graduate had the vice principal as his mentor who he says really taught him how to love and serve others. Their friendships with their advisors are meaningful and help our students think deeply about their life decisions at this critical season in their lives. The guidance counselors are excellent at keeping students on track for their individual college goals. The teachers offer traditional and creatives methods to learn the material. The student experience is full of opportunities for healthy social fun at games and the school spirit is contagious. The opportunities for social justice through short term mission trips with peers or community service locally are abundant for a small school. My students' friendships are faithful and meaningful and I trust them in their social time...a gift to a parent who might otherwise worry about their peer groups. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my student's experience at Cole Valley Christian Schools. I would recommend CVCS to anyone who asked.

My family moved to Idaho pre COVID, and have been attending CVCS for 6 or 7 years. (Time flies.) We…read morecurrently have all our kids enrolled, and we love the education they are getting, both academically and spiritually. With many Christian schools, it seems that faith is put on top of curriculum, like frosting on a cake. I've seen at CVCS that faith is baked into the cake itself. For example, every parent/teacher conference is opened in prayer, each child is prayed over when considering classroom placement, and Christianity permeates every aspect of academics and social activities. If you live in the Treasure Valley and want a solid education for your kids, as well as having them surrounded by positive role models, I strongly recommend Cole Valley!

I graduated from Rocky Mountain High School years ago, but my experience there still affects me…read moretoday. Throughout my time at the school I was subjected to severe bullying from other students. I was regularly insulted, called names, and told to kill myself. Physical assaults happened multiple times a month, and in my experience the students responsible often faced little or no consequences. One example that still stands out: a student sitting behind me stabbed me in the back with a pencil during class. I yelled because it hurt, and I ended up receiving in-school suspension for swearing while the student who stabbed me received no punishment. Situations like that happened repeatedly. When incidents were reported, I was often told my parents would be informed, but later I learned they were not. The most painful part was the feeling that many teachers and staff simply didn't care. In one case, a teacher told me I should drop out and that the most I would ever achieve was being a waiter. Comments like that from someone in a position of authority were incredibly damaging. School should be a place where students feel safe and supported. Instead, my experience was that bullying was ignored and sometimes the victims were punished. The environment had a serious negative impact on my physical, emotional, and mental health. I hope the school has improved since I attended, but based on my experience I cannot recommend it. No student should have to go through what I experienced there.

My son was in their special ed program and he was abused. The school he went to lied about what…read morewas really happening and the daily events. He missed a lot of time due to staff missing or Claire his teacher not having a plan and not knowing what to do. He needed major speech therapy - He received 20 minutes a week. Took them months to program.his talker and even then it was not done right. Did not follow IEP..... And even worse they lied - They did not mark him absent all the days he was sent home early. So essentially they stole money. I had enough and he is home now and all the crazy behaviours he exhibited at school are gone. Why have we not received a call? I think Lowell Scott and Joplin worked together to intentionally suppress information. The Para professionals hired to work with our son told us a lot off the record.

This school is so close knit and everyone knows everyone. If you're looking for a school to pay attention to everyone including small details, I highly recommend! If you're looking for them to be just another child, I suggest you take them to another school. They go above and beyond to make sure all kids are safe by having people out front to direct traffic, allow/stop kiddos from walking in dangerous places and crosswalk guards down the road. That all being said, it's a great school. I specifically stayed close to keep my daughter in this school.
