VINTAGE
WARRIORS
Vintage Christian Academy is dedicated to developing students who embody the principles of biblical truth and virtue, as reflected in the school’s mascot, the Warriors. This means that we expect them to act with integrity, respect, and courage in all areas of their lives. We believe that our students can make a difference in the world if they are prepared to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult.
As a member of the VCA community, we expect all students to embody the values of our Warriors mascot. We want them to be prepared to fight for what is right, to stand up to injustice, and to be a light in the darkness. We believe that with the right training and preparation, our students can make a difference in the world and be true warriors of Christ.
WARRIOR HONOR CODE
Integrity
Proverbs 11:3 NLT states, “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.” We will be honest in our words and actions, and strive to do the right thing even if no one is looking.”
Humility
James 4:6 NLT reminds us, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” We will strive to maintain a humble attitude, recognizing that our abilities and achievements are gifts from God.
Community
Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT instructs us to, “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” We will actively seek to build and maintain strong relationships within our school community, and participate in school functions.
Respect
Ephesians 4:29 NLT commands us to, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” We will treat all individuals with dignity and honor, and refrain from any form of bullying or disrespect.
Diligence
Proverbs 12:24 NLT states, “Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.” We will put forth our best effort in our academic pursuits, and strive for excellence in all that we do.
Service
Philippians 2:3-4 NLT commands us to, “Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” We will actively look for opportunities to serve others, both within and outside of our school community.
Responsibility
Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” We understand that our time at Vintage Christian Academy is a privilege and we will be responsible for our own learning and development.
At Vintage Christian Academy, we believe that our students should be prepared to fight the spiritual battles that they will face in the world. That's why our mascot is the Warriors. We chose this mascot to remind our students that they are fighting not just a physical battle but a spiritual one as well. We are called to put on the whole armor of God, as it says in Ephesians 6:12. Our honor code reflects this belief:
It is important to note that growth and change are a process, and we understand that mistakes may be made. If a student is found to have violated the honor code, the expectation is that they will take responsibility for their actions, show genuine remorse and a desire to do better in the future. Through God's grace, we will work together to help the student grow and mature in their understanding and adherence to the honor code.
