San Luis Obispo Christian School (SLOCS) was established in 1993 by a small group of families from Vineyard Church who gathered together to form a home school co-op. The school met two (2) days a week at a location on Lizzie Street and moved to its present site at the Family Christian Center (FCC) in 1997.

SLOCS has since become an independent, non-profit Christian school; the only nondenominational Christian school in San Luis Obispo. SLOCS offers full-time academics for K-6 grades, and part-time enrichment classes for homeschooled junior high school students. The primary purpose of SLOCS is to serve San Luis Obispo and the surrounding area by partnering with parents to raise children with Christian foundations that will last a lifetime and provide them with the highest academic standards available.

SLOCS joins with parents in working together to prepare children for a lifetime of learning and to encourage childrens' spiritual, intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

The mission of San Luis Obispo Christian School is to glorify God by providing a quality educational experience for children in the San Luis Obispo County community that is uniquely Christian in its approach, values, methods, and philosophy. We are committed to providing a Christ-centered education, promoting excellence and balance in intellectual, physical, and spiritual stature that prepares students for the future. SLOCS is committed to accomplishing this mission through:

Academic Excellence

Believing and Teaching Truth

Changing Lives Through Jesus Christ

Developing a Community of Partnerships

Ensuring a Christ-Centered Environment

SLOCS recognizes the great need of providing a Christ-centered educational alternative and strives to partner with parents, families, and extended families in the nurturing of God's inheritance.

As a result of the ministry of SLOCS, students will develop a God-centered worldview with the ability to apply Biblical principles to everyday decisions.
