MISSION STATEMENT AND STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The mission of the Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy is to
glorify God by partnering with Christian parents and their churches
to inspire, prepare, and safeguard the minds of youth through
excellence in Christ-centered education.
The purpose of the Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy is to
educate and develop the whole person for the glory of God.
SYVCA desires to provide its students with a quality academic
education set in the framework of Christian instruction and
example. This includes rigorous academic instruction, challenging
athletic and recreational activities, competence in computer
technology, and creative expression in the fine arts.
SYVCA addresses educational practices from a Christian
perspective by allowing our students the opportunity to begin to
understand themselves and the world around them from a Christian
world view. Some of this education will be formal (chapel, Bible
classes and subject integration), and some will simply happen as
the faculty and students interact in the normal flow of school
activity. The goal is to facilitate the development of the child:
academically, physically, psychologically, socially and
spiritually. The school employs faculty and administrators who
serve as role models in their Christian walk, and who are maturing
in both their professional life and their Christian faith.
The Christian Academy is directed by a school board comprised
of school parents and Christian community members. While comments
and suggestions are appreciated and gratefully received, the board
asks for the trust and support of its parents in policy and
educational matters that are the prerogative of the school.
