History of Vickery Christian Academy
Why are we different
VCA begans at home.
The vision of Vickery Christian Academy began in 2011, when several homeschooling families gathered at the home of Mr & Mrs Ongko to learn how to establish a Christ-centered family vision and mission. These families committed to educating their children from home—teaching and training them to develop Christlike characters in preparation to become future leaders of the nation. These leaders would lead with the fear of the Lord, grounded in the truth of God’s Word, and remain faithful to the true values of our country, Indonesia
(based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia)
Message From Founders
The first and foremost knowledge that must be taught to children—again and again—is to know God as the Sovereign Creator. The process of shaping their lives must be aligned with God’s design, to provide them with a clear identity: who they are, why they were born into this world, and what their life purpose is. When children are aware that they were created according to God’s design, they will develop confidence to become the best version of what God has already built within them.
In this way, they will be equipped to become a blessing and an inspiration to their generation, and live with passion in fulfilling God’s calling.
(Ephesians 2:10)
Our 25-year journey has not been an easy one, but through every trial we have learned that “...in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
“When we first realized the responsibility of educating our children, we didn’t have any formal background in teaching. In 1998–1999, God shifted the focus of our family’s life journey, and we made the decision to be directly involved in our children’s education by choosing to homeschool them. We began this journey by becoming students ourselves—learning alongside our children to understand God’s calling and His design for our family. We became a homeschooling family—at a time when many saw this as a strange and foolish decision. But we chose to be “fools” in the eyes of the world so that we might gain wisdom from God (1 Corinthians 3:18).”
The various experiences we’ve walked through ultimately led us to God’s calling: to be a partner to other homeschooling families, building a community of parents committed to educating their own children. Choosing to homeschool is a long and often difficult road—one we are not meant to walk alone. That’s why we are so grateful for the Vickery Christian Academy community.
As the principals entrusted with this ministry in the Vickery Christian Academy community, we witness God’s blessings on each family every day. We are continually guided by the wisdom and leading of the Holy Spirit, and strengthened by friends and fellow believers who support us in this ministry. It is with joy that we welcome you—especially those of you who have been praying, who share the same vision, and who are confident that it is God’s will for you to become a part of the Vickery Christian Academy community.
God bless you,
Greg & Helen Ongko
