Our Mission
Vine Academy offers an inspiring Christian educational setting through a distinctive blend of home-based and on-campus learning. We honor the foundational role of parents in nurturing their children's academic excellence and spiritual maturity. Our dedicated mission is to partner with families as they lead their children into developing a relationship with God.
Our Courses
Vine offers courses 5 through 12 at Gilroy Presbyterian Church on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We offer grade-level core courses such as English, Math, Science, History, and other electives such as Bible, Theater, and Art. We strive to offer class content that satisfies the California State requirements for each subject.
Our Teachers
Vine seeks to hire teachers that are qualified, godly, and enthusiastic about their subjects. Many of the teachers are also parents of Vine students. All teachers are encouraged to create teaching methods that incorporate different learning styles and connect the importance of the subject to the students' lives and futures through a Biblical worldview.
Parent Involvement
Students who succeed at Vine do so because their parents have made their child's education and character a high priority in their home. Vine parents are actively involved in motivating their students and academic career. Vine families are expected to be actively involved in Vine student life to help build community.
Our Students
Are growing in Christian character and faith. Show diligence in their studies. Have good relationships with family, peers, and authority. Can organize themselves to learn in our environment (classes two or three days per week).
Final Details
Vine is not a registered school in that we do not hold cumulative files/school records. Vine teachers prepare formal lessons, instruct and distribute grades. It is necessary for you to either file your affidavit, join a state home-schooling charter, or join a Private School Satellite Program (PSP). Many families enroll in Spring Academy, a PSP offered by Dena Bless. Contact Dena at 831-801-4818 or springacademy21@gmail.com for more information.
