VCS Parent Update

Dear Vacaville Christian Community,

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 that even in the midst of COVID, we uphold a culture focused on the principles of God’s Word, while continuing a tradition of academic and extracurricular excellence at VCS.

September 24th is now a full, normal school day for elementary students (and remains as a normal school day for middle school and high school, ECE, and extended care).
As a reminder - September 25th remains a full campus closure (no school or extended care for all students). This day will be used for all staff professional development in order to encourage, inspire, and improve our entire staff!
October 16th - as planned on the calendar (as a day of rest and honoring the extra demands on our staff), there will be no school for all students, ECE-12th grade. K-8 extended care will be available.
