Torrens Valley Christian School was established in 1980 by local Christian parents who had a vision for a nurturing Christian school community, firmly rooted in biblical truths and grounded on the Word of God. We see partnership with parents as an integral part of this process, where the responsibility for the education and Christian nurture of children is an extension of what is being taught at home.
