School Notes
- When our children leave MVCA to enter the world of high school, we want them armed with the truth of a Christian worldview. Public schools have competent instructors, bright students and beautiful facilities, so why pay extra to send your child to MVCA? The answer...to educate children in the light of God's truth ~ the Bible. This is something public schools cannot do. Learning and living successfully require God's wisdom, strength and guidance. Consider this math...children spend 180 days in school. Each day is 7 hours long. That is 1,260 hours! For MVCA students that is 1,260 hours of being bathed in God's word. "I would advise no one to send his child where the Holy Scriptures are not supreme." Martin Luther.
