South Valley families since 1975. Originally started as a Pre-School and Day Care, the school quickly became known in
the Morgan Hill community for providing a quality educational environment. Before long, the demand for a quality
private school in the South Valley, offering all the elementary grades, became clear. By the fall
of 1978, grades K-6 had been added. Grades 7 and 8 were added a few years later. The original name of the school
was South Valley Christian School. In 2001, The name was changed to Crossroads Christian School. We have been affiliated
with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) as a Member School since 1981.
