SCHOOL-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENTS

THANK YOU!

The amazing Christ-centered culture of generosity at CVCA was evident at this year’s Royal Evening, where we gathered to celebrate God’s faithfulness to His school and to share in our passion for providing Christ-honoring education for today’s students and future generations. All funds raised at this event go directly to student tuition assistance and scholarships for students who would otherwise not be able to attend CVCA.

The 2026 Royal Evening was a tremendous success, raising more than $400,000 for student tuition assistance and scholarships. Thank you for partnering with us in our mission of Educating and Cultivating Servants for Christ.
