To say that Dr. Vance Nichols, Head of School at Alta Loma Christian School, is passionate about Christian education and shaping our students’ finest futures would be an understatement. Now in his 39th year as an educator, Dr. Nichols has served in the chief leadership post at ALCS since 2015, and introduced the school’s concept of 21st Century Skills, 1st Century Faith.TM
As a career Christian school leader, Dr. Nichols has helped envision and incubate new academic initiatives—including 1:1 device programs; technology-integrated instruction; collaborative STEM Space Science & Engineering and Robotic Engineering programs (his schools’ students, ranging from grades 4-12, have engineered eight historic experiments operating aboard the International Space Station with the Quest for Space Project since 2012, including three from ALCS); and secondary school academic expansion—resulting in heightened levels of student metacognitive learning and record assessment performance.
Throughout his career, Dr. Nichols’ schools have been marked by innovative endeavor and elevated student achievement. During his time at ALCS, the school system has become one of the first school systems in the state to teach coding to every student, preschool through 8th grade; has founded The Eagle Center for Creativity and Innovation (TECCI); has established an award-winning STEM program as a faith-based STEM school; has experienced increased student performance and educational innovation; has been selected an Inland Empire Best of the Best Private School for the past five consecutive years; and has been chosen an Innovation Best Schools and Colleges honoree for the past three years.
