Admissions Policy
Mission Viejo Christian School partners with families to provide a loving environment where students can build a strong academic foundation, develop their unique God-given talents, and learn to know Jesus in a personal way as they prepare for high school and beyond. With that as our goal, at least one parent must affirm a personal commitment to faith in Christ and the purposes of Christian education.
