"History: Valley Christian Schools
(formerly called Bellflower Christian Schools)
began in 1935 due to the vision
and leadership of Rev. Gareth Kok,
pastor of a local Christian
Reformed Church. The first educational effort
was a six-week summer school session offered
for four years. In 1934 three acres of land were
bought on Grand Avenue. A four-room
schoolhouse was built and through prayer and
dedication the Valley Christian Elementary
School began in the fall of 1935. Today our
recently remodeled Elementary campus
remains on Grand Avenue in Bellflower. Our
High School and Middle School located in
Cerritos span some 33 acres...."
