Notes from the school.

Reflections from the Principal, the faculty, and occasional guest writers on classical Christian education and the day-to-day life of VCA Virtual.

Blog

A quiet publication.

We don't post often. When we do, we hope what we say is worth reading.

The blog at VCA Virtual is a slow, occasional publication — a few posts a year from the Principal, the Faith Coach, the Dean of Instruction, or guest writers. We don't chase clicks. We don't post on a schedule. When something is worth saying, we say it.

What We Write About

Three kinds of posts.

The blog has three main genres. Every post falls into one of them.

Letters from the Principal

Periodic letters to the school community on direction, mission, and the year ahead. The most important of these is the annual end-of-year letter to graduating seniors.

Faculty Essays

Longer essays from teachers on classical pedagogy, the Great Books, the Christian intellectual tradition, or the practical life of the classical home. Substantive, slow-cooked, occasional.

III

Family & Alumni Stories

First-person accounts from current families and alumni — what classical education has done for their children, what they wish they had known earlier, how the school has shaped their household life.

Coming soon.

The blog is currently in production. Initial posts will be published in the months ahead.

Soon

Why a Faith Coach

From the Principal — an essay on why VCA Virtual created the Faith Coach role and what the role does in practice.
