The school was founded in 1975 on the premises of Valley Fourth Church in Spokane Valley. It has since re-located to the building complex that was previously used by University High School. It is a non-denominational, non-profit 501C3 school, and is accredited by ACSI and NASC. It is approved by the State of Washington and enrolls students in grades PreK-12.
The school promotes itself as providing a biblical worldview education for Christian families desiring a discipleship based Christian day school, and nearly 100 churches are represented in the families enrolled. The school maintains maximum class sizes of 25 in the elementary and 30 in the secondary, with an average class of 18 students.[2] In addition, the school has supported a homeschool extension program for both elementary and secondary students for over 30 years.[3]
