About Us

Our Objectives

Spirituality: MVA students will develop a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.  First and foremost, in everything we do, we endeavor to create the best possible environment for our students and staff to strengthen their love for Jesus Christ.  We expect to provide this environment in the classrooms, at work, at play, and in our worship time.

Relationships: MVA students will develop strong Christian relationships that will guide their behavior.  We believe relationships are the most important determinants of behavior.  As we develop loving relationships with Jesus and each other, what we do and say will guide our behavior.  Special relationships are developed between our students and their Campus Parents that are the basis for trust and privileges.  We believe that “Rules without relationships lead to rebellion.”

Academics: MVA students will be recognized for academic excellence. We expect our students to be serious students that accept the struggles and rewards of academic rigor and discipline.  We provide assistance both in and out of the classrooms for challenged and gifted student to achieve their personal objectives.  We provide tutors for those needing extra help as well as college credit classes for gifted students. 

Work Ethics: MVA students will learn the value and rewards of hard work.  Students are required to participate in our work/study program.  We provide each student a job description, work expectations, job performance evaluations, and compensation based on his or her job performance.  

Character Development: MVA students will progress in developing their Christian character.  Character development includes developing Christian life-skills that enable students to think, to choose, and to act as responsible citizens in their community.  This requires intentional analysis and a willingness to hold others and us accountable. 

Fitness: MVA students develop the habits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Students will design individualized fitness plans and cultivate an appreciation of personal health and nutrition.  Evaluations will be conducted quarterly for each student.

Fun: MVA students will have fun and be noticeably happy. Christian teenage students expect to have fun and we will be a generous and guiding source of support to them in having long-lasting fun.
