Victory Bible Christian School
Rick Bailey
The school excels in character training, which really sets it apart from other schools. The A Beka curriculum itself emphasizes Christian character. School activities including the morning Bible studies, student self-management responsibilities, student chores, etc. help to train their character throughout the day. Moreover, all of the teachers are great role models for the students and the older students are good role models for the younger students. The school is like a big family. It produces happy children that get along with each other and who are wise and mature. I personally also take a lot of comfort knowing that our children get to know God well through the training they receive at school. I know that God is their own God, and He loves them more than I do and He leads them better than I can.
For those who are used to traditional school settings, the DVD teaching approach may be of some concern. Based on our experience, the A Beka curriculum is a sound curriculum. It is especially strong in phonics and reading. The ‘monitor teachers’ are great teachers and the children do bond with them. The on-site teachers do a great job managing the classes and checking students’ work. The students are trained to manage their own studies and be responsible for their own work. All together, the school work does not require much parental supervision and the students’ academic achievement is quite impressive as demonstrated by their test scores.
The relative lack of facilities and resources may be seen as a weakness by some. Even though the school does not have a well-equipped play ground, the children enjoy playing various ball games. They are entertained and get plenty of exercise. All teachers at the school are very talented, creative, and great at multitasking. With their exceptional dedication, their achievements exceed my expectations. They offer great music and art training, and put together impressive programs several times each year. They also give plenty of personal attention to individual students in nurturing their character development and helping them to excel academically. If one is concerned that their children may miss out on some activities offered by other schools, I personally feel it’s an issue that can be easily addressed through extracurricular activities, which many children today normally participate in. In comparison, it would be much harder for parents to compensate for what this school offers in terms of character training and academic achievement. The choice wasn’t hard for us.
