Why VCHS?
Motivational speaker Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Whether you agree or not, there is no question that high school students are heavily influenced by their peers and teachers. As VCHS students are surrounded by our exceptional faculty, as well as high-achieving and kind peers, great things happen! We call it the VCHS family as, together, we create a “rising tide that lifts all boats.”

Affording VCHS
A VCHS education is not inexpensive, but the return on investment is worth every penny. The qualitative and quantitative results prove it. VCHS graduates not only gain admission to their 1st choice colleges, but they succeed where they land. Their character and self-confidence are strengthened. From a dollars and cents perspective, the average VCHS 2017 graduate received almost $40,000 in merit-based scholarships from each college or university where he/she applied and will attend.
Tuition for the 2017-18 school year is $19,400. Apart from a $270 enrollment fee, there are no additional school fees or hidden costs. With over $600,000 available each school year for need-based financial aid, more than 40% of our students receive some form of financial aid. To learn more about tuition assistance, please contact Lauren Mutter, Director of Admissions, at lmutter@vchsweb.org or (970) 766-4125.
