DESCRIPTION OF EXCELLENCE

The New Media Studies (NMS) program at Valley Christian High School is one of the most diverse media studies programs available at any high school in the country, boasting courses in cinematic arts, 3D animation, radio production, and television broadcasting. We strive to prepare students to be not only excellent story tellers, but also Christian artists who are able to influence and impact those with whom they come in contact. Offering courses may change year to year.
