Student Support
MVCS believes that each student is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). To help each student reach their God-given potential, MVCS offers different systems of support.
Academic InterventionMVCS provides an intervention framework to effectively support students who need targeted skills review. Through a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), MVCS identifies students in need of additional support and provides evidence-based intervention to reduce academic gaps. The MTSS Framework is a three-tiered system for delivering increasingly intensive interventions when students are not meeting the grade-level educational standards. Tier 1 is universal and includes quality instruction for all students. Tier 2 provides targeted intervention and instruction to students in small groups. Tier 3 provides intensive, individualized intervention and instruction for students who have demonstrated a need for the most support.
Students who have been diagnosed within the last three years by a licensed professional with a learning disability, learning challenges, processing deficit, or medical condition such as ADHD/ADD may be eligible for classroom accommodations tailored to the student’s needs.
The intervention framework is not a function of special education. MVCS does not provide specialized instruction or an individualized service plan with goals and objectives for students with unique learning needs at this time. If your student has an IEP or 504 plan, please contact our admissions office at admissions@mvcschool.org or (949) 465-1950 prior to submitting your application to determine whether we can effectively serve your student at MVCS.
Whole-Hearted LearningMVCS provides a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes Christ-like character and academic excellence by promoting a learning environment filled with truth, grace, hope, and love in action.
Our hope is to provide opportunities for spiritual, relational, and cognitive growth so that every MVCS student will be equipped to influence the world for Jesus.
The school counseling team works closely with administrators, teachers, and parents to support all students in accomplishing their spiritual, academic, and personal goals.
Delivery Methods: Classroom Guidance Lessons, Workshops, Groups, and Individual Counseling
The counseling program follows the same tiered approach when supporting students. Tier 1 is universal instruction for all students, which includes monthly classroom guidance lessons. Tier 2 provides targeted skills instruction in a small group setting. Tier 3 provides individualized instruction/counseling for students needing the most support.
Classroom Guidance Instruction: Biblically based lessons on topics including Self-awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Friendship Skills, Goal Setting, and Responsible Decision Making.
Self-Awareness: Recognizing their own uniqueness as God's creation and finding their true identity and worth in Christ. Acknowledging their thoughts and feelings and how their feelings relate to behavior.
Self-Management: Lifting their emotions to God and managing them in a fruitful way; controlling their actions with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Social Awareness: Relating to other people and acting in a way that models Jesus's character.
Relationship Skills: Communication, cooperation, and conflict resolution skills that
exemplify the character of Jesus.
Responsible Decision Making: Making choices based on prayer and principles of the Bible.
Why is learning about our emotions and how we relate to others important?
In order to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," we need to understand our identity in Christ and how to relate to others so that we can effectively share the Gospel.
