We are truly grateful for IPB (Institute Pertanian Bogor) for opening their space to our juniors and seniors. There are so many interesting things that they are experimenting with especially looking at their hydroponic setup and their farm. It’s nice to see they still get to see animals during this field trip/
Our Elementary school students get to visit Kuntum Farmfield. Such a perfect place for our students to learn about plants and God’s creation. The students have been studying about plants since the start of the school term to prepare for this field trip, but they got to see many animals in this space as well.
We from VCA are very passionate about the Indonesian heritage and are very serious about making sure that our students understand, learn, and appreciate the rich heritage God has blessed our Country with. Culture Day is meant to perserve these riches in our students hearts with a sense of awe and wonder. We also need to plant in their hearts an attitude of empathy and love towards our brothers and sisters across the islands.
For this year, we put our focus on the province of Papua. We partner with experts from the Papua community to learn extensively of their land, mountains, and plants. We also learn of their fabrics, musical instruments, dance, and clothing. We also make sure to learn of their struggles and to create a charity to help the people of Papua in a meaningful way.

We are very proud of this year’s high-school graduates, many who started their journey on VCA since they were Kindergarteners. They really rose to the occasion on leading by example on serving God with their whole heart. Their legacy can be felt through their charity program GoGo (Generation of Giving Organization) which focused on education for kids on the forgotten parts of Indonesia.
It’s always a tearful goodbye especially when we are able to really get to know each seniors. We strive to shape them as future generation leaders, but most of all we are greatful to have such a privilage in getting to know these young men and woman personally since they are little boys and girls.
One special ceremony we always do with our senior graduates, something their parents are always waiting for, is the Purity Ring Ceremony. Each Students are to make a covenant in the form of a contract with our school and their parents to always live in purity, to wait until marriage before they engage in a sexual relationship with another, and to always put Jesus Christ above all else as they journey off into the world. In a world where evil is being twisted and celebrated, where sin is normalized, and where darkness is being confused as the light, we want to give each graduates something meaningful as a reminder to always hold God and his protection close in their hearts, to move in the world with Godly morals and conviction, and to be the shining light that can light others.

The dream of this school started through Mrs. Ongko’s journey of being a Kindergarden teacher and principal. The understanding that knowledge and obedience towards God starts from when we are toddlers is the key drive for our school to prepare and discipline our students so they can be successful men and women of God who can one day lead people through love and wisdom. We can only hope that both teachers and parents can witness how their patience and drive to educate and discipline these little children will eventually prepare them for a life with God in their adulthood out in the world.
Graduating from Elementary School is always a big change in the dynamic of our school. We are glad to be able to experience the fruits of our labors, being able to see our previously Kindergarten students graduating from little brothers and sisters to being the pillars of our school. The little ones are going to look up to them now, and our only hope is through preparing them with the knowledge and wisdom God has bestowed upon us that they can do the same for their younger brothers and sisters.
