Profile
In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
PVCS strives for excellence in academics for true mastery of necessary facts, principles, and skills taught from a Biblical perspective.God has made each child unique with special abilities and characteristics. Children develop through predictable cycles spiritually, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, yet the rate and pattern of growth is particular to the individual. Teachers address and interweave these in daily classroom activities. High academic standards meet grade-appropriate goals and objectives. Learning should be integrated, meaningful, interesting, and functional.
Kindergarten
is a full-day program, five days a week, for children who are five years of age by September 1 of the year of enrollment. A developmental philosophy focuses on each child's preparation for success throughout the school years.
High School furnishes well-rounded educational opportunities with a comprehensive scope, offering a rigorous challenge for the college-bound student. Discovery Center The goal of educational therapy is twofold: 1) to enable the student to become independent and successful in the regular classroom and, 2) to make it possible for the student to achieve at a level commensurate with his potential. Prior to enrollment, educational and psychological (WISC-III) testing must be completed to document the existence of learning inefficiencies. Based on that information, an individualized educational therapy program will be implemented. Students receive homework, and parental involvement is required. Therapy is twice-weekly for eighty-minute sessions. Students come out of their regularly scheduled classes. Resource Room
Elementary Resource Room students receive instruction in skill areas such as reading, spelling, writing, and math. The classroom teacher and the Resource Room teacher cooperatively decide on the skills that need improvement. Middle and high school Resource Room assistance focuses on understanding classroom concepts, study habits, test taking skills, and the timely completion of assignments. This program provides opportunity for students to learn accountability and self-advocacy. Psychological and educational testing may be required for enrollment in the Resource Room.
