VCA High School

High School Opportunities

High School provides a unique opportunity for students to move toward their personal interests and pursue career exploration options. The years for VCA and VHSM are intentionally labeled year 1, year 2, etc. to indicate the flexibility students have to complete their credits. High School students come into VCA with a variety of credits from different education backgrounds (public, private, homeschool, and community colleges) and need different VCA CORE credits to graduate. However, a firm, biblical identity will catapult ALL students forward to be equipped to fulfill their purpose in Christ.
