Valley Christian School was founded in 1979 in St. Croix Falls as a ministry of the Alliance Church of the Valley and has operated continuously since that time. Because of the number of students who are not a part of the Alliance Church of the Valley, and to give the parents of those students a greater say in the operation of the school, the board and congregation of the Alliance Church of the Valley released the school to become an independent organization. Valley Christian School was incorporated and began operating as a parent-owned school in July of 2000.
