International And Visiting Students

Valor Christian Academy is a Jesus-centered community aiming to educate, strengthen and equip the whole child.

 

We welcome international students to inquire and apply for admission in as full-time students or as a visiting student for 2-8 weeks.  VCA is an approved issuer of I-20 visas for students requiring residency.  The mission of Valor Christian Academy is to help each child grow as Jesus did, in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Therefore, we provide a distinctively Christian Worldview in an academically rich, well-rounded, and supportive environment.  Valor Christian Academy is a covenant Christian school, and at least one member of the host home must be of the Christian faith and provide a personal testimony. Please note: A student is considered an international student if an I-20 is required for residency. Students are expected to be proficient in English.
