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.

    1. A lifelong pursuit of becoming more like Christ and less like the world (i.e. servant hearts, humility, moral purity, integrity, and courageous faith) (Romans 8:29; Romans 12:2)

    2. Equipped to “rightly divide the word of truth” and apply it to their lives (2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:22)

    3. Committed to helping fulfill the “Great Commission” (Matthew 28:19-20)

    4. Committed to faithful participation (time, talent, and treasure) in a local church as members of the body of Christ (Hebrews 10:25) 

    5. Critical thinkers, whose biblical worldview enables them to “understand the times” and respond biblically to their culture (I Chron. 12:32; Matthew 10:16)

    6. Equipped to pursue God’s calling on their lives, wherever He leads, as “Kingdom seekers” (Hebrews 12:13; Matthew 6:33)) 

    7. Inspired to love the Lord their God, first, and to love others  (Luke 10:27)
