Testimonial

“In second grade our daughter attended public school. She was having multiple struggles, both socially and academically. I had called the teacher and tried working out different ideas of her staying in during recess and just helping the teacher or working through the struggles of her different studies, no solutions were found. We also found out later that they actually had her in a lower math level but they did not inform us about this.Eventually we pulled her out of public school and tried a virtual homeschool. The daily work with this new system was much more about busywork. No real depth of what she was capable of learning. 

As we prayed and prayed over this situation, a friend told me about Vineyard Christian Academy. It sounded too good to be true- Still having home days together. But also being able to go to school in a Christian environment. We came and toured the school and then our daughter did her shadow day. She was so overjoyed about her new friends and the entire school day.  We ended up starting that very day. We got our happy girl back.After a year of being at Vineyard Christian Academy, our daughter did the standardized testing and tested at a 98 percentile in math. 

Our family is a sports family- it is so nice to have the option of having our kids still be able to play on the public school sports team. This past football season, 4 boys were kicked off the team for vaping in the bathroom during lunch. Just another reason we are so thankful for such a healthy social environment that VCA has. Where something like this is not an issue.

This unique model that Vineyard uses set our daughter up for complete success as she transitioned back into public school for high school,  she went straight into three honors classes. She knows who she is with a solid foundation in Christ. Our family is so grateful for Vineyard Christian Academy and we’re excited for the future of this great school.”

VCA has been a blessing to our family and our family loves the school!  My kids are in Kindergarten, 5th and 8th grade.  The education they receive is top-notch and a great fit for each of their individual learning needs.  On home days I can give them additional individual attention to help them understand difficult concepts.  We have a Christ centered supportive and FUN community of friends at VCA who help us with carpooling and we school at each other’s house on home days.   

We love VCA!  

When we left Oregon for Idaho for the sole purpose of attending VCA our families thought we were crazy.  But over the past four years as they have seen the blessing of the school, which is truly the best of both worlds, they now comment on how great it is that God brought us to VCA.  Lisa and I knew that fully home schooling our kids was not in the cards, but have also seen the influences that come from full time public school we knew that wasn’t an option either. 

Then we found VCA. 

Offering a curriculum, a teacher, and social interactions it allows our kids to have their independence.  Having Wednesday and Friday home days allow us to be engaged parents that can supplement their learning as we go about our daily lives.  One of the biggest blessings of VCA is the teachers.  When they say that they partner with you, they mean in the academics but also in the spiritual nurturing that every child needs.  It is a great feeling when you talk to past teachers and they mention that they are praying for your children.  We came for the school and it has yet to disappoint us.
