| Who is Teaching My Child? |
| The Founder and Director of The Village Christian Academy is Helen Carr. Mrs. Carr attended Wayne County Schools in Mt. Olive, NC. In high school, while taking a Child Care Services Class, Mrs. Carr was bitten by the bug of teaching. She had the amazing experience of teaching a struggling 4th grader how to read! Upon receiving a teaching scholarship, Mrs. Carr attended UNC Charlotte where she received a BS in Special Education. After teaching six years in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Mrs. Carr began her family. Homeschooling was the answer that matched her teaching philosophy: “Every child can learn. We just need to know how to teach them.” For the past 13 years Mrs. Carr has been teaching her children and helping other families through homeschooling, tutoring, and now The Village Christian Academy. |

They are instructed variably according to age/ability in mathematics, science, and memorization. Adjustments are also made in the curriculum for scholar’s learning styles. Not everyone responds to all curriculum the same. TVCA understands and respects this. Therefore, if a scholar responds better with a different curriculum, changes are made accordingly. Scholars also take Writing Classes and Science Classes offered through other homeschooling professionals. |
