September 28, 2026

October Giving 2026 kicks off on Thursday, October 1.

Your Gift is Needed. Every Family. Every Gift.

Celebrating Generosity Throughout October

Each October, we invite the entire CVCA community – parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends – to join us in celebrating generosity by supporting the Annual Fund. Every gift helps make the impossible possible.

What is the Annual Fund? 

  • Expands Accessibility: Keep a CVCA education within reach through vital scholarships and tuition assistance.

  • Enriches Student Experience: Enhance learning through unique academic opportunities, discipleship programs, fine arts, clubs, and athletics.

  • Invests in Educators: Support our dedicated faculty and staff as they deliver mission-driven academic excellence and cultivate Christ-like character in the next generation.

Roadwork Updates :

  • Enbridge Gas hopes to conclude their work this week.  

  • We want to make you aware that the City of Stow is beginning a road project on Seasons Road that is scheduled to start soon and take approximately two weeks. This road construction will begin at the Stow City line on Seasons Road and end at Allen Road. This will likely impact traffic to CVCA; please allow extra time or consider an alternative route for the next two weeks.

Traffic & Parking Tips

  • Set a Meeting Spot: Agree on a specific designated pick-up location with your student ahead of time.
  • Slow Down: Please strictly follow all posted speed limit signs. Slowing down shows respect for your fellow students, guests, and staff on our property. 
  • Follow the Patterns: Stick to the designated traffic routes, stay mindful of speed bumps, and practice patience as everyone adjusts to the new guidelines.
  • Watch for Pedestrians: We have students crossing near the back of the building. Please slow down and yield to them as they walk to and from class.
  • Late Start Mornings: Enbridge Gas is hard at work by the start of classes. Please allow extra time, particularly on late start days, to avoid arriving late to school. This will not always be the case, but for now we encourage you to do so. 
  • Follow us on social: Check out our latest Reel on Traffic and Parking HERE.

Making the Impossible Possible

The gap between tuition and the true cost of education has always been part of CVCA’s DNA. From the beginning, our founders recognized the extraordinary power of a community uniting its time, talent, and treasure. To keep CVCA accessible to as many families as possible, tuition alone cannot cover the full cost of educating our students. We are continually amazed by how God uses your generosity to drive Kingdom impact and make the impossible possible. Thank you for being such a vital part of our community!

Shya Coffee Subscription

If you’ve seen Shya Coffee at various CVCA events, enjoyed every sip, and support our cause, consider a monthly subscription at a discounted price. We’ll drop off subscriptions at the Welcome Center or deliver them to your student’s locker on the 15th of each month.
