Valley Christian Academy Philosophy of Education

Valley Christian Academy believes our task is set forth in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." VCA desires for each of its students to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. VCA recognizes the spiritual walk of a child is of the utmost importance.

A child's education is a partnership between the home, the church, the school, and the community with each playing a vital role in the upbringing of the child. For this partnership to be effective, it is necessary for parents to be active in their child's education. We encourage the child's parents to model Christian lives and that they always be conscious of their critical role to instill Christian principles into each student's life. We encourage regular church attendance by our school families.

VCA recognizes that education is a lifelong process. VCA encourages each of our students to seek higher education opportunities after completing high school. VCA desires to prepare students to achve for academic excellence by providing a learning environment with a Christ-centered perspective. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity (1 Tim. 4:12)."

In partnering with the child's family and church, it is VCA's role to prepare, train, and equip its students with the spiritual, academic, emotional, physical, and social tools to make a difference for God throughout their lives.
