WE CHOSE VCA!

The Buenrostro Family chose VCA

As a Christian family, our idea was always to give our child an education based on Jesus. When we came to Santa Rosa Bible Church (SRBC) and became a part of this beautiful family we saw the blessing that Mateo could attend Rincon Valley Christian School (RVCS). He attended from pre-k until the school closed. It was a hard time and we had to move him to a public school which at the same time was a great experience because we were able to meet families and share the gospel.

After two years we could see that there is nothing more important than to have our son keep growing in knowledge based on Christ and we reconsidered returning to VCA. Now we feel safer knowing he is in an environment where teachers and staff rest in the Lord.

VCA has been one big blessing from God , thank you for all your hard work.

The day I was in labor with my oldest, my pastor called my husband to see how everything was going. He then proceeded to ask, “Have you thought about what kind of education you will give your child?” My husband and I were stumped by the question as the norm is to just enroll in the local public school. Being young (20, 25) and recently saved Christians, we had not even thought about it. When our children were school age, we put them in public school, and remembered our conversation with our pastor years before. For the first 2 years they were in K and 1st grades, it was less than great. Even in such an early stage of elementary school, our children were targeted because they listened to Christian music, dressed a bit more conservatively, and because they didn’t participate in certain activities. The principal called me to the office because my children did not want to participate in Halloween. I responded to the principal by saying, ”We do not participate in Halloween,” and it was met with disdain, and I was told that I was teaching my children to defy authority.

We believe God is the ultimate authority. As a family, we value the belief that God is first. As parents, we have an obligation of impressing God's word not only in our hearts but in our children’s hearts. The Bible says, “Impress them (God's word) on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.“ Deuteronomy 6:7 That became a charge on my husband and me. That’s when we decided to homeschool, which went well for 3 years. But my heart was set on sending my three children to school with other kids who have the same like mind in Christ as we do. That is why we set our hearts on VCA. We are so thankful for VCA and that my kids feel surrounded by love, respect, and God's word.

I toured all the elementary schools near my home and never felt content with what I saw. I always thought of the compromises I would have to make if we attended. When I toured VCA I almost cried as it was everything I was hoping to find in a school for my kids: small school where each child/family is known, personal relationships with faculty/staff and other families, the feeling of community and people supporting one another actively, highly motivated and dedicated staff with sincere desire to see their school/students flourish, beautiful campus, education focused, and the ability to talk about morals and spiritual development openly in a supportive way. The staff is so timely and comprehensive in their communications to us. I so appreciate that. One more reason I’m happy we chose VCA.

My name is Ashton Bogue, and I'm so glad our family chose Victory Christian Academy. I was homeschooled before coming here last year as a junior in high school, and the transition has been great for me. Our teachers are super helpful and nice and want to see us succeed. Because VCA is a small school, students are encouraged to try out extra curriculars that one may not have the ability to at a big school. Last year I was new to volleyball and was encouraged to try out and not only did I get to play, but I became the setter! I also learned how to play the flute. We are an accepting community, and always love new people! We are pushed in our education so we are able to handle the future workload and time management. I am so excited to be a senior this year even if we are doing VCA@Home since our school is so communicative and our teachers are so hands-on, continuing their regular curriculum. I look forward to being a graduate in VCA's 1st graduating class. Class of 2021. I love VCA!

When our children began their school experience many years ago, we chose to enroll them in private Christian school because that was where I was working part time. As the years passed and we considered other options along the way, talking with other friends and family, we realized what a blessing our school community was. My husband and I attended public school all of our lives, so Christian school was a new experience for me, and I was so thankful for the community for us as parents and for our children, and for the biblical basis they were learning from.

Several years down the road, we found out our school was closing and we began looking at different options with our kids, who were now all in high school. They had been through a lot, as many of our local high schoolers have been these past few years, so the community they were going to be a part of really mattered to us even more than ever. We were concerned about finding a secondary school that would continue to develop their critical thinking and biblical worldview. As we researched different options, we also watched as God seemed to be doing some amazing things to bring a new school about, and before we knew it, I was offered a leadership position at Victory Christian Academy and our kids also felt drawn to be part of this fledgling community. While these first two years have been anything but "ordinary", we have had a front-row seat to the miraculous ways God has provided for and grown this school. Our kids love the community they have here, and the chance to be part of building the foundation of this special school. We are especially grateful, in our current climate, for the opportunity our kids have to wrestle with how biblical truth underscores every aspect of their learning, and how to take that understanding with compassion into the world. We are so thankful to be at VCA!

We have been so blessed and fortunate to find Victory Christian Academy when we moved to Santa Rosa. We drop our daughters off every morning and do our special handshake. They love their teacher and their friends. The tuition is very reasonable, and we highly recommend people checking them out. We know that many have been doing distance learning and that it's been a difficult year for parents. With VCA, it has been such a positive experience. We pray, "Lord lead us with wisdom as leaders have hard conversations and make difficult decisions."

We love VCA because it's a caring place that teaches discipline, respect, and responsibility, but the most important is that VCA teaches the love of God in a very unique way. We are not just a number at VCA, we are a family.

VCA offers an academic excellence, acquisition of skills for learning, whole child education programs, and being part of a community of students. Committed, happy, and effective teaching staff. A safe school environment. Intellectual and emotional growth fostered by the school.

We love VCA! Thank you for everything you do.
