All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

Good Soil
The Good Soil Report details a comparative study of alumni (ages 24-42 years old) from public, secular private, Catholic, evangelical Christian, religious homeschool, and ACCS (accredited classical Christian) schools, on topics of life-choices, preparation, attitudes, values, opinions, and practices.
The research confirms what history has proven—classical Christian education is the most fruitful, formative education. DVCS graduates are prepared not only for college, but for a life well-lived.

Why Delaware Valley Classical School?
I cannot say enough good things about DVCS. The education is excellent and the biblical foundation paramount, but the way they live out that foundation is why I won’t send my kids anywhere else. They partner with parents. they model redemptive discipline, and my children have grown so much just in the few years we’ve been at the school. I am deeply grateful for the way DVCS has blessed my family and will sacrifice whatever I have to, to ensure that my kids continue their schooling here.
-DVCS Parent
I owe who I am intellectually and morally to the excellent teaching found at Delaware Valley Classical School. Four Biblical values are tied to the academics and the building of the school community: Excellence, Wisdom, Joy, and Gratitude, and these values are instilled in a student from kindergarten to twelfth grade. The school also prioritizes the classical tradition of learning, stressing the importance of critical thinking, logical faculties, speech and debate, linguistics, theology, philosophy, and the arts, all of which have been useful to me throughout my life. After experiencing eleven fun and deeply educational years at this school, I feel equipped with these skills and values to excel at college and beyond. Would highly recommend.
-DVCS Senior
As a grandmother, I am thankful for the Biblical worldview my grandchildren are receiving at DVCS — a lifesaver in a spiraling world that they will soon inherit. After attending a DVCS Open House, I left immensely grateful for the warmth and kindness of the headmaster, principal, and staff who took time to sit with and teach me about classical education and the school’s extraordinary culture of service, discipleship, and grace. What a blessing it is to know that my grandchildren attend a school where they are safe physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In DVCS, God has blessed my family far more than I could ever imagine or even pray for.
