Experience the Joy of Generosity
This October, we invite the entire CVCA community to join in the spirit of giving by supporting the Annual Fund.
To achieve affordable tuition, a gap exists between tuition fees and annual expenses. Your gift helps bridge that gap, supporting financial assistance, key student programs, library services, science and computer labs, and the latest technology. It also allows us to introduce innovative academic initiatives, including Schools of Distinction, the School of Classics, and Jterm. Every gift has an immediate impact, enhancing the experiences your grandchildren enjoy and helping them grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Learn more about how your gift makes a difference HERE.
The Annual Fund is supported solely by gifts from the CVCA community.
Give between October 1 and 31 online HERE or send a check to CVCA, Attn: October Giving at 4687 Wyoga Lake Road, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44224. Thank you for making a difference!
Your gift is needed.
EVERY FAMILY.
EVERY GIFT.
Chapel Focus for the 2025–2026 School Year:
The Upside-Down Kingdom
Each school year, CVCA selects a book of the Bible study throughout the year in Chapel. This year, we will focus on Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), with special emphasis on the Beatitudes.
Our banner for the year carries the tagline “Upside-Down Kingdom,” highlighting the idea that the priorities of Christ’s kingdom often stand in contrast to the ways of the world. In Matthew 5–7, Jesus’s teachings challenge conventional wisdom, flipping worldly values on their head and pointing us back to Himself.
Whether we are navigating money, forgiveness, or anxiety, Jesus offers a way of living that is countercultural yet life-giving. Our prayer is that students will reflect deeply on His teachings and seek to live as part of His Upside-Down Kingdom.
“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.’” – Matthew 11:28-30
In The Message, verse 30 is translated “Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
May you go to Jesus daily, keep company with Him throughout each day, and learn from Him how to live a life of grace and freedom. The Lord be with you!
