Affiliation
Desert Valley College is not officially affiliated with any church or religion, but its founders are individuals who are either members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or are person of faith who find the moral and ethical standards of the LDS Church to be compatible with their own.

The Model
We accept as our model the LDS Church, LDS sponsored universities, and Southern Virginia University.  Students who attend Desert Valley College will be obligated to observe standards that involve honesty, chastity, abstinence from harmful and/or illicit substances including alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee, and drugs.  Honor code, and dress and grooming standards similar to those at LDS church colleges will be applied to DVC.

Spirituality
Spirituality is as important a component of the development of the student as is education, and both will be equally emphasized at Desert Valley College.  The goal here is to learn truth, both temporal and spiritual, to form moral character and courage that will serve the students, faculty and staff, throughout their lives as leaders in the world.

The college will serve all who are willing to share and live the values we espouse.
