What is the Royal Evening?

The Royal Evening is a community-wide event and CVCA’s largest single fundraiser for student tuition assistance. This year, we are excited to celebrate the 28th Annual Royal Evening on Saturday, March 13, 2027. It promises to be an evening filled with fun, delicious food, fellowship, and a joyous celebration of what God is doing at His school. Every family is invited to be a part of the Royal Evening. There will be many opportunities to get involved, so you can choose what works best for you and your family.

Crossing Guard Position Open

This person will help maintain a safe, orderly, and consistent flow of students, pedestrians, and vehicles during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.

Moms in Prayer

Moms of CVCA students are invited to campus each Monday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. to pray for our school, families, faculty, and staff. Meet at the Welcome Center by 7:50 a.m. with your photo ID for check-in. To pray for CVCA from home, this PRAYER CARD is a good guide.
