Dear Falcons,

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 thrilled to uphold a culture focused on the principles of God’s Word, while continuing a tradition of academic and extracurricular excellence at VCS. I look forward with enthusiasm to supporting and furthering the Christ centered paideia of Vacaville Christian.

My family and I are enthusiastically preparing to move from our home in Florida to our new home in Vacaville! As we prepare for this exciting transition, we gather each morning around the breakfast table and pray for the students, parents, and staff at VCS. It is my genuine desire that God will continue to use VCS in exceptional ways. When I arrive on campus in late May/early June, I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to build relationships with each of you and to discover the qualities that characterize such an exceptional school community.
