Annual Appeal

Influencing Today, Impacting Tomorrow

Each year, the VCS Annual Appeal raises funds to bridge the gap between what we receive in tuition and government grants, and the true cost of a Christian education. In the previous years, funds have been raised for projects such as our new gym floor, a second Kindergarten class, and off-site deep learning programs like our High School Expeditions week. This year, we have several exciting initiatives planned:

• Outdoor Learning Spaces: we would be thrilled to add a covered learning space to the Elementary Campus to provide more options for excellent, outdoor learning as well as a meeting / playing / gathering space for students and parents.
• “Courtyard” Between SC Portables: at the Secondary Campus, we would love to cover an area between the portables.  This could be used to empower outdoor teaching and learning, and would also provide a great gathering space for students at breaks as well as before and after school.
• Enhanced Learning Spaces at the Secondary Campus: a conversion of mezzanine space above the Auto-Shop/Tech-Ed room into additional teaching and learning space.
• Online Curriculum for Home-Based Learning: with more students than usual learning from home this year due to self-isolation requirements or health-related absences, funds will be used to provide specialized online programming to support continuity of learning for students at home.

Our goal is to raise $65,000! Please prayerfully consider each of these initiatives when planning your year-end giving. We cannot do this without you, and truly appreciate your generosity.
