The ancient Greeks had a word for education: paideia. It’s meaning, however, was inclusive of much more than academic study. The paideia of a child encompassed every aspect of his life. Each facet of a child’s environment and the culture in which he was brought up was believed to be inseparable from his “education”. In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul tells parents to “provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the paideia and admonition of the Lord.” I’m proud that at VCS, we have since 1975 upheld a culture focused on the principles of God’s Word, while cultivating a tradition of academic and extracurricular excellence.
At Vacaville Christian School, we are looking expectantly to the future, from early preschool through 12th grade. We want to be a community of relationships, where each student feels known and cared for, and all feel a sense of belonging to the VCS “family”. We care about excellence in athletics and fine arts, and desire to see students find their extracurricular passion and “niche” that brings them community and a sense of identity. Our academics are thriving, and VCS students are developing into passionate life long learners, growing in knowledge and wisdom. VCS graduates are taught to be deeply innovative, critical thinkers. And finally, we are nurturing the spiritual life of our students, who are developing a deep and abiding faith that can withstand the pressures of culture.
We invite you to come on campus for a personalized tour to learn more about what Vacaville Christian School has to offer, and we hope you will consider partnering with us in this very worthy mission!
