Parents today want a well-rounded education that will also provide students with excellent academic opportunities. In addition to our public schools, Las Cruces also offers excellent private and faith-based schools. There are many aspects of providing an education for your child and for a variety of reasons, parents may want to choose a private rather than a public school. Perhaps your child has special needs or your child might be gifted and you are seeking an accelerated academic environment. You may have certain values or subscribe to a belief system that you would like to have instilled along with your child’s academic growth. In many cases, parents may simply be looking for a more structured learning atmosphere with smaller classes and more careful supervision. Selecting a school for your child is among the most critical decisions you will make and the Las Cruces area offers a number of alternatives.
MESILLA VALLEY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
The vision of MVCS is to “lead Christian School education in New Mexico.” Their mission and purpose is “to assist parents in their God-given responsibility to train their children to become disciples of Christ, serving our Savior daily in every aspect of life.” MVCS places “high priority upon academic excellence and teaching young people from a biblical world view in all subjects.”

With the special emphasis on leadership that flourishes in a family atmosphere, our graduates are more than adequately prepared to take distinguished roles in the high school of their choice.
