Parent/Student Agreement
Purpose & Philosophy
Parents are responsible for their children's education, spiritual development, and character under God's specific instructions. Vine's purpose is to help parents provide a rigorous, academic, Christ-centered education. We cannot merely be a consumer institution. The structural model of Vine Academy is based on educational partnerships with like-minded, active, and engaged families. Most of a Vine student's learning will be done from home. Families must be active participants in a community of Christian parents praying for, serving, and engaging in the education of the children.
