Support Pursuing Wisdom at Mid Vermont Christian School

Mid Vermont Christian School, with the help of generous donors, has worked to support any Christian family who wants their children to be able to access a Christian education at MVCS since 1987!

Here is one family's story:

For most families who pursue a Christian education, it is their love of Christ that leads them to seek a Christian education. For our family, this was not the case, at least, not at first. Our desire to enroll our children in a Christian school began primarily with our disillusionment with public school.

When our oldest child was almost 3 years old, my husband and I began exploring options for preschool. We sought an education that could offer our children an environment where they could grow both academically and morally. After consulting in public schools for 15 years, I did not have confidence that they could provide what we were looking for. In public schools, I was increasingly seeing more class time devoted to managing problem behaviors and less to learning time, and an increase in screen time with some subjects being taught exclusively on an iPad.

We began looking at Christian schools because, although we did not attend church regularly at the time, we considered ourselves Christians (my husband born again, myself not at the time) and knew that at a Christian school, our children would be taught the moral values that aligned with our own at home, such as kindness and respect. We came across Mid Vermont Christian School, and we immediately knew that this school could provide the kind of education we were looking for; however, I also read on the website that MVCS requires attending families to go to church. My husband and I spoke and decided we had better start going to church. We joined a church and enrolled our daughter at MVCS 6 months later. Our son started at MVCS a year later.

Having our children at MVCS has been a life-changing experience. I am so moved by the teachers’ commitment, kindness, devotion to the Lord, and love of teaching children. They truly love God and love what they do. It has been such a joy to hear the Christian songs and Bible verses my children have memorized, to see the friendships they have developed, and see tremendous progress academically. Here we are 4 years later: our children still attend; my husband and I both work at MVCS; I am now born again; and as a family, have grown immensely in our love and devotion to Jesus, and I can truly say MVCS was the catalyst for this growth.

Our story would not have been possible without the generous support of donors, and we are so grateful for the change this school has made in, not just our children’s lives, but ours as well. Thank you for your support! -Dana Huston
