Scholé Studio
Intelligent Faith: Equipping minds and engaging hearts for God's Kingdom.
In 2000, Mark and Teri Muir had a vision to establish the best educational program to integrate students with High-Functioning Autism and students with learning differences into the mainstream classroom with individualized special education services in a Christian setting.
With the original vision clearly within sight, School Within A School has transitioned to The Scholé Studio.
The VCA Scholé Studio offers a unique approach to teaching and learning that is designed to offer a sound, engaging, and thoroughly Classical, Christian education at a more measured pace for students who need additional support and attention. Scholé Studio is the best of Christ-centered, Classical learning woven into restful learning (hence the Latin word scholé). The ultimate goal of the Scholé Studio at Veritas is the same as all teaching and learning at VCA. We desire for all of our students to mature in wisdom and eloquence while engaging the true, good, and beautiful.
Scholé Studio employs one full-time administrator/teacher and one specialized Scholé teacher at each school. The curriculum is thoroughly guided by Classical Christian form and content and will be experienced by each student at a measured pace.
A key change: Scholé Studio student schedules! The norm is that our Scholé students will have their classes for their grade/age/ability level meetings with their class. Each student will attend homeroom, specials (PE, Music, and Art), lunch, breaks, field trips, and all whole grade/class gatherings such as chapel with their age-appropriate peers.
Due to the restructuring of student placement, classes, and teachers, we now only charge a nominal fee of $500 per student, per year for Scholé services. The former tier system has been removed.
