My child attended Kindergarten, Mrs. B's class structure was excellent, her Bee hive concept had the students engaged and really felt apart of a team, with job task a chance to lead. My daughter came in mid year without knowing how to read and write, along with math! She finished the year exceeding expectations in all areas. Security staffs are true professionals and vigilant. Sports teams are sized perfectly allowing any child a chance in various if not all sports of their choice! If I had to say a worst, honestly I would have to say Victory is underrated, this school and all its facilities staff made it a priority to assist in any issues I had, and the school events give my daughter so much pride being apart of Victory. read more

Victory Christian Academy - Victory fun run! - Elementary Schools Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Our two daughters go to Victory and are in grades kindergarten and second grade. We have had the most outstanding experience at this school, in large part to the teachers our daughters have had. Mrs B. in Kindergarten is an amazing teacher who brought our child's academics to the next level, all the while fostering a safe and nurturing environment. She was an instrumental part of our child's growth over the past year, and is the main reason our youngest loves her school so much. She is an absolutely wonderful teacher. Mrs Ashley in first grade, and Mrs Kohl, in second grade, worked closely with our oldest daughter for the past two years. I can't say enough about these amazing teachers. They have fostered a love of learning in our child, and she is now reading and writing, and doing math far above grade level, compared to her friends that are in public schools. My family loves Victory Christian Academy and I can't see my kids attending any other school. The Principal, teachers and families are all top notch and together they have created a very special school. If you are looking for a safe and engaging school that has high academics, a focus on biblical studies and an amazing staff, this is the school for you. read more

My 2 graduated from Victory that are currently at the #1 public university. They had amazing experiences. Had awesome activities, friendships, sports, music and acting , computers, field trips, camps, and AP academics that helped to prepare them for their future. They received individualized instruction according to their abilities. They had well rounded opportunities. Small environment with teachers, staff, coaches and admin that care. My kids attended since elementary and I always felt they were safe. It was foundational to my children's Christian Values, which to us was important especially the non academic nonsense being taught at public schools . For my family sending our children to Victory was a prioritized decision that I am forever grateful for. read more

My honest review of this school comes from a deeply personal place. I joined on August 26, 2024, and left on February 27, 2025. My family attends Awaken Church, and although we had heard some concerning things about this school, we still gave it a chance. At first, we genuinely loved it. But slowly, we started noticing changes--especially in me. I began to feel judged--particularly by some of the guys. Their words were hurtful and left a deep impact. I felt like I had to hide who I truly was just to fit in. I was silently scared and battling thoughts I didn't know how to process. My parents had no idea what I was going through until I finally built up the courage to tell them. That confession changed everything. As time went on, I also noticed a pattern: many students seemed to be struggling with personal and family issues. A lot came from homes with divorced or absent parents, or lacked discipline and emotional support. The environment often felt chaotic, not Christ-centered. Although the school carries the label of "Christian," the experience didn't reflect the love, safety, or grace that should come with that name. Instead, it took a toll on my emotional, mental, and spiritual health. But God met me in that darkness. Through therapy and the support of my amazing church, I began healing and rediscovering who I am. I'm now stronger, more at peace, and so thankful I got out before I lost myself completely.(Ms. Nicole would say hurtful comments to my sister that had disabilities) To any parents considering this school: academics matter, but so does your child's heart. I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone. Please look beyond the surface and choose a place that truly protects and nurtures your child's soul, I would say more but i would not like to disrespect the school especially because in some cases it would out of school activities! -From a Student read more

Personally attending this school for 3 years freshman year-junior year, the staff that runs the school are lukewarm Christians, I don't believe they had bad intentions behind the mess up's they have (which are many) from sweeping things under the rug for their own reputation to not kicking kids out of the School who were praised in their athletics, the basketball team bullying and trying to jump kids in the locker room, aswell as boxing clubs in the locker room to death threats from kids outside of the school because they had a problem with kids in Victory. This school has favorites and is family run with obviously their children attending. If you are a stranger to this school you will be treated as such. I found Christ only after leaving the school feeling I had learned nothing and this school led me further from god. Calvary Christian academy is A great option and I feel the presence of god there. With my best intentions please do not send your kids here they are better off in public school just as I was. And if anyone doesn't believe this is true I have video evidence of all my experiences read more

Our son attended this school last school year and we wish he hadn't. To summarize he experienced bullying and isolation. He experienced a lot of name calling which escalated to more as the year progressed. Although we reached out for help from the teacher and principal, we did not get any. We were told there were two sides to the story and if our son did not feel safe, then he should not return to their school. Not ever did a staff member correct a student for any name-calling or bullying. Another student with a lisp was also called an idiot by the same classmates. At the end of the school year, our son's being bullied escalated into physical bullying, and our son was being pushed to the floor during breaks. When I emailed the teacher about this, she never responded. The bullying was supported and excused. We are not the only family that experienced a toxic environment here. We returned to the school where our son did kindergarten and learned that 12 families came to our school from Victory for 2024/2025. There were many other families that also left Victory top other schools. Many have similar stories. The environment is not safe nor is it a Christian one. Another family shared with us that a HIGH SCHOOL student during a break pulled down his pants in front of kindergarteners while jogging. Nothing was done to discipline this student. The principal laughed at the matter when a parent went into her office to express concern. The school lacks experience, values, and morale. I do not recommend for anyone. read more

Our daughter just graduated kindergarten and we couldn't be happier with our choice of attending Victory. Mrs. Brambila (Mrs B.) was the perfect kindergarten teacher- patient, loving and supportive yet also teaching the children respect and self control. I couldn't believe how quickly our daughter started to read and write, and she excelled throughout the year both academically and socially. We love the family-feel Victory gives us and we are already looking forward to our two younger children attending as well! read more

I have kinder and 1st graders at Victory and the environment has been wonderful. The teachers are easy to contact and provide direct communication about my child's progress and areas of improvement. They had a reasonable homework load and online access to grades and assignments. Recess happens multiple times a day so my kids don't get too distracted and get good exercise. Also, the older grades help mentor and do reading buddies and my kids really enjoy that time! read more

My son just started kindergarten this year and he loves it! It's a joy for me to hear him sing praise songs around the house, and hear him talk about the different jobs he gets to do in the classroom (prayer leader, sing leader, etc). Part of the curriculum is to have him memorize a verse every week - which we love. When I pick him up I can tell he's forming meaningful bonds with other students even outside his classroom, and with various staff and faculty. Finally, I think the school is doing well at communicating with families. Communication is always a challenge with large and diverse groups, but I can attest that my email is regularly full of announcements and updates. I also appreciate that my son's teacher both makes herself available through texting as well as through a communication log we can add notes to for her. No school is perfect - but this one is striving to pursue a Christ centered education to the best of their abilities. read more

My family loves Victory! My daughter has been attending since her freshman year and is graduating class of 2025. She attended public schools in Texas for elementary and middle school. I was concerned of the adjustment moving from one state to another at such a pivotal time in her life. Victory has proven to be the best decision we could make for her education. The teachers are so supportive and made the transition such a positive experience. It's obvious how much Mr. Dufresne and Mrs. Sanchez, the principal and director care about these kids. The teachers often get together for meetings and pray for the students regularly. My daughter feels safe and loved there. read more

We have had our 3 kids attend Victory for a few years now and believe it is the best environment for them to learn and grow. The best way I can describe it is "it's how we grew up". Discipline is taking serious, principals get involved, they do not tolerate bad or disruptive behavior, and the students have high expectations put upon them. The curriculum is challenging and there is very small class sizes and easy access to teachers. These are things you will not find at any public school. Also, there is a big emphasis put on sports and physical recess to make sure the kids are getting energy out and exposed to different types of sports on a weekly basis. We are very happy with the organization and the staff! read more

Bad staff bad people and fake teachers. If you want your kids to be sheltered from actual real people then maybe it's a good fit. This school feels like a family got together with the perfect plan to make sure their kids would graduate so they made a school primarily for there own benefits and kids in mind. If you look different if you're into different things YOJ WILL NOT be liked by staff or treated properly. It's almost as if they're the opposite of what they stand for. Overall just a horrible toxic environment and suffocating. Don't go here. read more

We have been at the school for several years. I have been involved with and witnessed several different types of situations. In all aspects, the administration is fair, concerned, connected and positive. They take each individual and work on their strengths and weaknesses. Over time, their approach seems to work just perfectly. There is a lot of coaching and mentoring going on in every situation at the school. If you want your child to learn accountability, responsibility, teamwork, and forgiveness, this is the place for you. But, it takes the parents to work with the administration to achieve positive results. They are there with the resources and capabilities, and the students just need to buy into the environment and program. Good things will happen. read more

I love this school I go there now and I plan on going there till my senior year of high school and I also plan to teach there as well. I will bring this up to our principal and let her know that some of the employees are not doing exactly what they should be doing read more

My review is from when I was a student here several years ago. Please do not bring your children here! During my time here I felt abused and lied to by most of the staff. My family paid just as much for me to be here as everyone else yet I was treated poorly. Mrs. Kundy lied to me when I first transferred here from New York. I asked if my grades would be transferred from my old school ( I had a 3.4 GPA from my old school) and yearbook photo since I was starting a little over a month into the semester. She said Yes. Well neither were ever transferred so I had a blank photo in the yearbook & had to struggle with my grades since I hadn't been in the classes since the beginning. Miss. Anna Meyer continually gave me low participation marks in religion class for asking questions or having my own beliefs. I would ask questions like what is the difference between the light that the lord made one day and the sunlight from the next? Whenever she couldn't come up with an answer like clockwork I was slammed with a D for participation that day. Or when I said no my parents separation did not affect me. My mother has done an amazing job & I do not feel like I missed out on having a "father" in life. Anna did not seem to agree because I got a D that day too. I can't remember what the history teachers name was but I remember the male students saying they'd "make love to her" in nice terms as long as she had a paper bag over her head. She must not have made it as a good teacher because a few years later I saw her working at the shoe section at Nordstrom. She lied to me too, technically the whole class. She gave us a essay based test on a day that we only had 30 minutes to finish. Not one student finished because of the little time we had so she promised we would have another period to finish. Because I had studying so hard to asked her every other day when we would be allowed to finish but she never gave a straight answer. 3 weeks later she handed us back our unfinished tests graded only on what was finished. I was so upset because she had SAID WE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO FINISH. When I brought this up she acted like she never said this and started yelling at me that she was the one in control. She told me to stay after class. Of course when we were alone she threatened that she would make my time at the school miserable if I ever spoke up again. No one in the front office seemed to care when I told them and Mrs.Kundy even said I should say that I was sorry. The worst of all was the principal. She accused me of slashing another students car tires because I wasn't technically a senior and couldn't go to Senior Nite at Disneyland with them. What she didn't know what that I did in fact go to Senior Nite with another school and was already at Disneyland when his tires were supposedly slashed. She was fully in support of illegal activity when the seniors did not go to school but when I was gone for vacation reasons she tried to threaten me with a suspension. When a girl was selling CD's with photos of "the students" without permission for her own personal gain the principal did not care because she was personal friends with the girls parents. The photos of "students" we're photos of the girl with the same 4 people and some kids in the background. When I tried to make the yearbook better and even came up with a Video Yearbook idea that would bring money back into the school which they would have full control of what went in they refused in a meeting with my stepdad and then took me off yearbook. They did listen to me when I mentioned that one student (whose mom worked in the office )was photographed more then 17 times yet others only photo was the one they took at the start of the year & equalized it a bit in that years book. When I was on yearbook I was told by a teacher that the worse the student looks in a picture the better. How awful! I entirely did not agree with this. When kids look back they want to see good memories, not a HUGE picture of themselves in mid banana bite. As for myself? I think I've turned out pretty awesome. I've had the opportunity to work with Weezer, do concert photography, help coordinate some of San Diego's largest festivals & now own a very successful business where I can let my creativity be free. Just please take a second look at this school, surround your kid with a staff that will help them grow not push them down. read more

LHHSSD is highly effective in educating above the minimum academic requirements as well as investing in our son's character and leadership development. They are equipping him to lead a successful and productive life post High School. We are beyond satisfied with our son's experience and highly recommend this school to anyone who is tired of their child falling through the cracks, being a demographic and test score. Go Knights! read more

I went to this school my freshman year of high school and, although I was only able to stay for one year before moving across the country, Lutheran High School set me up for success. As a bit of background, my parents originally considered Lutheran High School because the tuition at Mater Dei and OLP was far more than my family could afford. I also qualified for an insane amount of financial aid because, at the time of application, my dad was laid off. At Lutheran, I was able to involve myself in sports, grow in my love for christ, and develop essential skills. I felt like my education was important there. One of my parents' concerns was that such a small school wouldn't be equipped with the resources to challenge me academically. Even though the school is small they were able to offer me and other gifted students honors classes. Even for students who were not determined to be on the same level as my peers and I were academcally, their class sizes were very small so that they were able to get the attention they needed to succeed and the encouragement that propelled them to become better students, christians, and citizens of the world. The instructors pushed me to be better and challenge my own personal best every single day. I transferred to a public high school and was so ahead that I graduated when I was 16, and I believe that is owed to Lutheran High School. Now I'm one year away from college graduation, where I'm on track to earn my bachelors of science in mechanical engineering. I've interned at NASA and Boeing. Basically I'm in an awesome place in my life and my future looks so bright, and a lot of that has to do with the year I spent at this magical school. If it is within your playing cards to send your child to Lutheran, do it. If it isn't, figure out how to make it work for your family. I'm so thankful that my parents made such extrordinary sacfices to send me to this amazing school. Thanks Lutheran. read more

Lutheran high School (which is now in Chula Vista@ 810 Buena Vista Way) is an excellent and affordable private Christian High School. We sent our two children there, and they both excelled in Academic's, Athletics and Music. Lutheran high school, provided my children an opportunity to learn and grow in a smaller student to teacher ratio, which gave them more personalized instruction. The teachers and Staff go out of their way to help the students understand the courses that they are taking, to get them prepared for College and to help them mature as young Men and Woman. There is a caring spirit at Lutheran high school. We are so thankful we sent our children to LHS. read more
