The campus occupies almost 100 acres of rolling lawns, ponds, playing fields, equestrian facilities, and over 25 buildings. The campus provides the student with plenty of room to breathe and offers various physical activities that take education beyond the classroom, making it an exciting, enjoyable part of everyday living. The ARC (Academic Research Center) provides the atmosphere for discovery and learning with fully-equipped chemistry and biology laboratories. The administration/classroom buildings contain classrooms, offices, and associated support facilities. The gymnasium complex of two gymnasiums, a large weight/exercise facility, pool, and spa are used for interscholastic athletics and physical education. Many other buildings provide the setting for the educational endeavors of Monte Vista Christian School. Meals are served in the attractively decorated Cafe. Other specialized buildings include a middle school complex, an art laboratory, a tack room and horse barns adjacent to the Western and English horse arenas, a music building, and two residence halls for the boarding students. The campus has a safe country atmosphere that encourages contemplation, study, and proper physical development away from the congestion and distractions of urban life. We are delighted that you have chosen to explore the Monte Vista Christian School website. Whether you are a prospective student or parent, a current student, alumni, a potential employee, or a community member is seeking more information. On behalf of our students and staff, we welcome you to our site. Monte Vista Christian School has built a tradition of excellence since its founding in 1926 as a coeducational college preparatory day and boarding school, grades 6-12, with a commitment to our students' moral and spiritual development. We desire to challenge students to think independently, to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and to strive towards excellence in all that they do. Beyond the development of intellect, athleticism, and social responsibility, we are committed to bringing the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the Scriptures' truth to each student. For every student at MVC, there is a team of people – teachers, administrators, deans, support personnel, and peers - ready to give encouragement and support. It is our mission to allow each student the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. We encourage you to visit and experience for yourself the vibrancy and peacefulness that is so evident on this campus that was dedicated to God over 80 years ago. The philosophy of Monte Vista Christian School is built on the revelation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world, for no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11 NIV). We believe that a Christ-centered program is the most trustworthy guide toward educational excellence. In our service of developing students, we focus on Jesus Christ, who has lived a life of perfect faith and brought it to full completion, now is the champion who initiates and perfects our faith (Hebrews 12:2 NLT). To these principles, we are passionately committed. From this passion flows innovative and Biblically-based curricular and co-curricular programs that are at the highest levels of accreditation and academic standards and are directed at preparing our students for success at Monte Vista and throughout their lives. Our philosophy is lived out in a community of believers. We welcome students from all religious faiths and even those who do not hold to any particular set of religious beliefs. Within this diverse setting, we openly model and express a faith consistent with a Christian worldview while acknowledging that our own lives are works in progress and that our faith is continually shaping us. However, within our acknowledgment of imperfection, we understand that as followers of Christ, we are called to live exemplary lives reflective of the ethical and moral standards of Christ's teachings. In light of this high calling, we accept that we are accountable to Christ, each other, our students, and our community to live as servants of Jesus Christ in the spirit of generosity and compassion while being responsive to the needs of those we serve. To the families who entrust their children to us each year, we take very seriously our role of serving as workers together with you. We hold this sacred trust as stewards in a partnership and passionately commit ourselves to our strategic role as a premier educational institution in developing your children morally, emotionally, intellectually, and physically to their highest potential. We hope that when students graduate from Monte Vista Christian School, in addition to having the highest level of educational experience, they will also have discovered a passion for spreading the message of Jesus Christ to all the world. And through the examples they have encountered, they will be world changers living as trustworthy and accountable stewards within God's creation. View full school

All areas of research, from basic biological research to translational and population-based studies, are included. Support for these areas includes statistical consulting, an intramural grant program, and a searchable database of extramural grant opportunities. The Office of Student Financial Services is available to help students find the financial resources needed to achieve their educational goals. While the primary responsibility for meeting educational costs rests with the student, the Office of Student Financial Services can help students bridge the gap between the cost of their education and their financial resources.

Their goal is to provide information and advice, determined solely by the best interests of our students. Current students finance their educational costs with a combination of federal and private loans, scholarships, and resources. The applicants' financial ability to complete their education at the University is essential because of the limited number of positions available in each class. Applicants should have specific plans for financing each year of education, including tuition fees, books, equipment, clinical rotation, travel expenses related to taking COMLEX, USMLE exams, other professional examinations, and miscellaneous expenses. The Office of Student Life at RVU designs and implements various program activities to enhance campus life quality by building and strengthening the RVU student doctor community. Program activities include the Peer Mentoring program, leadership development, and advisement to the Student Government Association and student clubs/organizations, Student Wellness, and co-curricular activities.

We prepare students for lifelong success through transformational academic, professional, and co-curricular programs. Buena Vista College (which became Buena Vista University in 1995) was founded by the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1891. The college was first granted accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1952. A graduate program in education received accreditation in 1995, initiating a college transition to a university. ACES, the Academic & Cultural Events Series at BVU, is designed to enrich the learning experience. There are three kinds of ACES events – cultural, scholarly, and student life. Students must attend a specified number and mixture of these events each semester. ACES is included on the BVU transcript and is graded as a pass/fail. Cultural events feature performances by touring groups or individuals. These could be theatre, vocal, dance, or instrumental. Some of the past cultural events included – the Vienna Boys Choir, Rockapella, Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors," and The Cashore Marionettes. These events are often open to the public and require a ticket. Educational events are lectures or discussions on topics that relate to the different schools and majors at BVU. Also included in this category are performances by the BVU music and theatre departments. All of these events are open to the public, and some require an admission ticket. Student life events are programs related to wellness and the campus experience. They cover topics varying to drug and alcohol abuse and relationship issues to stress management and financial literacy. These sessions are a little more casual than the other two categories but equally as valuable. Buena Vista University overlooks a beautiful, 3,200-acre lake (Storm Lake), which provides water-related recreation opportunities. Storm Lake is less than 60 miles from the Iowa Great Lakes region, which includes Okoboji and Spirit Lake. Complementing the natural settings are modern classrooms and residence halls. Construction of many campus buildings was completed in the 1960s. Edson Hall and Smith Hall were built before 1950, and Smith Hall was completely remodeled in 1970. As part of an $18 million gift donated to Buena Vista University by Dr. Harold Walter Siebens in 1980, the University completed an exciting new building program in 1986. It included J. Leslie Rollins Football Stadium, constructed in 1980, a 660-car parking lot, the Harold Walter Siebens School of Business/Siebens Forum completed in 1985, and total renovation of the Lage Communication Center in 1986. The 1990s marked further building progress with Briscoe Honor, Constitution and McCorkle Residence Halls, construction of the Information Technology Center, and renovations on Edson Hall. Construction on the Lamberti Recreation Center was completed in 2001. The 70,000-square-foot Estelle Siebens Science Center was opened in the summer of 2004. The baseball and softball teams practice and compete on shared fields with the local public high school located on Tornado Drive. A complete renovation of both fields was completed in 2009. Field turf was installed on the baseball infield, making it the only field turf in Iowa used for college baseball. Additional upgrades for both fields included new scoreboards, dugouts, fencing, bleachers, backstops, press boxes, and windscreens. This athletic complex is located north of Vestal Street's main campus and is the home of two soccer fields used for the men's and women's varsity competition. It is also the site of two football practice fields. Four lighted outdoor tennis courts are located just southeast of Siebens Fieldhouse. They are used for intercollegiate tennis and recreational play. Constructed in 2008, the Center for Sculpture and Ceramics, attached to the Social Science and Art Hall, houses a large workshop equipped with a full line of modern woodworking machinery. Also housed in the building is a foundry set up to cast bronze and aluminum and a metalworking studio. The metalworking area contains MIG, TIG, ARC, and oxy-acetylene welders and much more metalworking equipment. The ceramics studio contains many electric Brent potter's wheels, a large glazing area, a hand-building area, and a kiln room. The three-dimensional classroom is set up for mold making, investment, modeling, and digital image projection. Throughout the years, BVU has recognized needs and trends and adapted to meet them. In the mid-70s, the institution opened its first satellite location to help serve the needs of non-traditional students who could not attend classes in Storm Lake. Today, there are 16 locations across the state of Iowa and an online program for expanded learning opportunities. Graduate students benefit from several online options, as well. In 2000, BVU became the nation's first "wireless community" by providing laptops to all full-time students and faculty on the Storm Lake campus to connect to the campus-wide wireless network. Since then, BVU has built on civic engagement opportunities to create a more elegant atmosphere for community and campus service and involvement. Students have learned what it means to be global citizens and travel the world through professor-led academic ventures. Students also will soon benefit from a marching and pep band program, as well as an Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Resource management feature programs in ag-business and ag-science in Fall 2019.
