Students enjoy a family atmosphere where they are encouraged to develop a Christ-centered character and live in joy and peace, celebrating who God made them to be. Our VPK graduates score at or above statewide results on the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener (FLKRS), and are academically prepared for Kindergarten.
