Expected Student Outcomes

Academic achievement at VCA is more than just grades and test scores. It is an opportunity to grow in character and knowledge, preparing students to be well-rounded individuals who can make a positive impact on the world. By fostering a love for learning and a commitment to academic excellence, we empower students to develop critical thinking skills, cultivate a biblical worldview, and pursue their God-given potential. Through rigorous coursework and dedicated faculty, students are equipped to "rightly divide the word of truth" and apply it to their lives, becoming discerning thinkers who can engage with complex ideas and discern truth from error. Ultimately, academic success at VCA is a stepping stone towards a life of faith, service, and significance, as students are inspired to love God, love others, and fulfill the Great Commission.

Guidance
Along the Way

At VCA, we believe that a strong faith foundation is essential for academic and personal success. Our Dean of Discipleship, small group leaders, and teachers, integrate Biblical principles into learning and life. Through Bible classes, weekly Chapel/Small Group time, service/mission projects, and a focus on character development, we strive to disciple students to not only succeed academically but to live out their faith in all aspects of life. Our approach to discipline emphasizes restoration and growth, helping students learn from their experiences and align their lives with God's Word.
