MISSION + VISION

OUR MISSION

Valparaiso Christian Academy's mission is to work cooperatively with families of young children in an effort to support the family unit and to provide appropriate guidance for their child's (children’s) development in all areas. Setting forth the highest academic standards, and doing so to the best of our professionally trained abilities, while utilizing Christian principles to help shape the character and moral conscience of each individual child.

OUR VISION

To be nationally recognized as an outstanding, Christ-centered, Preschool and childcare provider.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe children are born with a natural curiosity about the world. Valparaiso Christian Academy seeks to feed and foster this curiosity. To achieve this, your child’s emotional, spiritual, physical, social, cognitive, and creative development are all nurtured by our qualified staff. Our teachers prepare the environment for children to learn through active exploration and integration of materials, experiences, children and adults.

Exposing children to the ways of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is a significant part of our school's mission. The values that we instill in the children are ones that are a direct reflection of God himself. We place a strong emphasis on building Godly character in an enriching, developmentally appropriate, safe & warm educational setting.

We strive to help develop children with self-confidence and a strong sense of self direction. Children who feel good about themselves, their environment, and enjoy what they are doing, make great learners. These uniquely talented, active learners will thrive in an environment where children are encouraged to make good choices, grow their faith, and acquire a love of learning. 

Our teachers provide the highest quality childcare and educational services, promoting faith based values, while also enhancing each child’s development. We reassure our parents’ peace of mind with the high level of care and services we render. Valparaiso Christian Academy provides a safe, nurturing and developmentally appropriate program which fosters active learning and supports the whole child in a faith based, child oriented and family friendly environment.
