New High School Opportunity
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.
Year 1 (2024-25) - VCA High School students (Grade 9) will complete CORE requirements for graduation including Math, Language Arts, Science with Lab, Government, as well as Bible Electives. Students can complete other credits at home to add to their transcript such as PE Weight Lifting or Music Introduction to Guitar.
Year 2 (2025-26) - VCA High School students (Grade 10) will complete CORE requirements for graduation including Math, Language Arts, Science with Lab, Social Studies, as well as Bible Electives. Students can complete other credits at home to add to their transcript such as PE Snow Skiing.
Year 3 (2026-27) - VCA/VHSM will provide Biblical Electives for High School students (Grade 11) to add to their transcripts while still allowing flexibility for the fewer hours needed to complete CORE requirements through VCA for graduation including Math, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Students may also participate in dual enrollment College Credits as desired through College of Western Idaho (CWI) to add to their High School Transcript.
Year 4 (2027-28)- VCA/VHSM will provide Biblical Electives for High School students (Grade 12) to add to their transcripts while still allowing flexibility for the fewer hours needed to complete CORE requirements through VCA for graduation including Math, Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. Students may also participate in dual enrollment College Credits as desired through CWI to add to their High School Transcript.
A sample VCA High School Transcript is provided. Parents are to complete their Student's Transcripts for the "Hybrid Home School Experience." Personalized Diplomas can be ordered at https://www.homeschooldiploma.com/
