As a small private Christian School, we rely on generous giving to bridge the gap between our annual operating expenses and tuition income. As we continue to focus on establishing an ever-expanding culture of generosity, we want to provide a variety of giving opportunities that best align with your financial preferences. At VCA, your gifts go directly to enhancing the areas you choose to support. Explore just some of the giving initiatives we are pursuing at Vail Christian Academy, and consider partnering with us to make a direct impact in areas of passion, interest or involvement.
