Mission Statement: Our Mission: The mission of Northern Virginia Christian Academy is to glorify God through the discipleship of students and the pursuit of excellence in education with the foundations of the Bible and our focus on Jesus Christ

Vision Statement

Our vision is to walk along side parents to educate their children to the glory of God as the creator and sustainer of all life and the source of all truth. Children are trained to look at the world through the lens of God's truth, Biblical truth. They will learn and apply that God’s truth is the cornerstone to all that we are, know and learn. God is the center of all that is good and true. We do this through excellence in academics, servant leadership and exemplifying truth based on God's word integrating this in every class, subject and discipline. Our goal is to graduate students who will engage the culture and permeate it with the truths of the Word of God for His Glory and for eternal impact.

Our Core Values
Educational Objectives and Goals

• Teach from an integrated Biblical World View. All subjects are
taught as part of an integrated whole, with Scripture at its center (II Timothy 3:16-17, Colossians 1:15-20)

• Provide a clear model of the Biblical Christian life through
Northern Virginia Christian Academy teachers and the NVCA Board (Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 12:29-31).

• Encourage young people to develop their relationships with God the Father through Jesus Christ – to love God with all their hearts, souls, and minds (Matthew 22:37-38, II Corinthians 10:5, Romans 12:1-2).

Vision Statement (Contd.)

• Encourage young people to love their neighbor as themselves (Matthew 22:39, Mat¬thew 28:18-20).

• Value each student as created by God for a purpose (Psalm 139:13-17).

• Help each family to remain the primary influence in the student’s
life. The calendar provides plenty of time for family traditions and activities at holiday times (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 23:24-26 — Read on; this is a father teaching an older son).

• Develop time management, self discipline, and strong work ethics in our students through the Northern Virginia Christian Academy program (II Timothy 2:15, Galatians 5:22-23, II Peter 1:5-11).

• Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and the
desire to live up to his/her academic potential.

• Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attaining of these goals.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:16, 17)

Philosophy/Belief Statement

Statement of Faith

We believe that the God of the Bible is the source of all truth; thus, all genuine intellectual pursuits lead logically to God. The Bible is the infallible Word of God, and as such it, and not man, is the standard of truth. Furthermore, we consider the primary goal of all of life and education to be the glory of God and the revelation of Jesus Christ, the hope of glory.

We are in agreement with the following historic, evangelic, Christian tenets: Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. Salvation, the free gift of God, is provided not because of any works of man but because of Christ’s finished work of atonement on the cross. We seek to promote unity and charity among those affirming these truths.

When we talk about the essentials of Christianity, we refer to the basic doctrines characterizing our faith and personal relationship with Christ, separating Biblical Christianity from other beliefs. We express these doctrines as follows:

We affirm the existence of a triune God, or one God in three distinct Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This God is self- existent, eternal, unchanging, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, righteous, and loving. God created the universe from nothing, and He is sovereign over His creation.

Philosophy/Belief Statement (Contd.)

We believe in the authority of Scripture, affirming the Bible as God's inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word. It is the ultimate source of truth and knowledge about God, as well as the definitive guide for our daily lives.

We believe man is a spiritual and physical being created in God's image. Because of sin, however, man lost his fellowship with God, and apart from salvation in Christ, will suffer God’s judgment and eternal condemnation in Hell.

By God's grace, Jesus Christ—fully God and fully man—was sent to save us from our bondage to sin. We believe Christ was born of a virgin, died for our sins, physically rose from the dead, and will one day return to judge the living and the dead, and deliver His people.

Presently Christ is in Heaven, exalted at the right hand of God. At
death the believer’s soul passes immediately into the presence of God, and the unbeliever’s soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.

We believe a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and not man’s religion leads to salvation. Our justification includes the forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life because of the exchanged life and Christ’s imputed righteousness. Through the indwelling Holy Spirit, we are sanctified by God’s grace and called to pursue a life of holiness in Christ.
