... your interest in joining our family at MVCA. We are committed to providing the highest quality education from a Christian worldview and during the admissions process we will ensure that we are the best fit for each student and family. We believe that parents are the first educators in an individual’s life, therefore we are partners in educating children. As partners, our desire is to work together in educating your children through parent involvement in the classroom, at home with homework, and through daily accountability or encouragement for your students. 

As a Christian school, we do teach from a biblical perspective in all our classes and our statement of faith is the basis from which we incorporate Christ into every subject. I highly recommend that you start with our statement of faith as a basis for understanding the principles upon which MVCA is based and if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me to discuss. There is a chapel service each week, the entire family is welcome and encouraged to attend. We also have Bible classes each day in all grades. We believe the Bible is the foundation of truth. 

Here are a few of the ways we are looking to ensure tha MVCA alumni are prepared to be servant leaders upon graduation. The 4-6 grade students experience “serve teams” where they assist in cleaning the classrooms for all K-6 classes and the hallway; together they learn teamwork, followership, and responsibility for the resources we have. Each month, the “upper school” students (7-12) have a serve day in which they will go out in to the community to provide services; these have ranged from assisting shut-ins with work around the house, adopt-a-highway clean up, and working at the Boys and Girls Club. The school has also partnered with Safeway to distribute Thanksgiving and Christmas meals to families in need for the last few years. Additionally, our high school students also do “serve teams” each day to assist in cleaning their classrooms, the lunch room, and kitchen after lunch each day; the emphasis for Juniors’ and Seniors’ is on leading those teams.

At MVCA we pray a lot; you will see this at chapel, in classrooms, and when you visit or interview during the application process. I point this out because I want you to know that we are already praying for you and your family. We pray for the entire community, the families in our school and around us, the public schools and all their teachers/students/staff, and for the Flathead Nation. We are committed to serving Christ and all of His creation.

Thank you again for exploring MVCA as an option for your family and we all look forward to meeting you!

Blessings,
