Our Origin Story
PVA originated during the 2020-21 school year with its first Pre-K class. These Scholars are our current 3rd graders! After adding one class per year since, we have grown to include Kindergarten through 3rd grade. During the 2025-26 school year, we plan to add grades 4th and 5th. The following school year, 2026-27, we will add middle school grades 6th-8th.
Our Mission and Statement of Faith
Our mission is to create a village of support for every student and
family we serve through thoughtful, cohesive, and equity-minded
partnerships in our community.
We believe that faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior forms the foundation
of a meaningful life. We also believe in the teachings of the Bible,
which guide our understanding of God’s love, grace, and purpose for humanity.
We affirm that ALL individuals are created in God's image, called to
live in relationship with Him and one another. Our commitment to fostering
spiritual growth is paramount, encouraging children to embrace values
of compassion, honesty, and service, which are vital for both personal
development and community well-being. A Christian education is essential
for children as it provides them with a holistic framework that integrates
faith with learning. It equips them not only with academic knowledge
but also instills a moral compass grounded in Biblical principles. Through
a Christian lens, children learn to navigate life's challenges and complexities,
developing resilience, critical thinking, and a strong sense of identity
rooted in their faith. Moreover, such an education fosters a supportive
community, where children can explore their spirituality, cultivate their
gifts, and form lasting relationships built on trust and shared values.
Ultimately, a Christian education through Polaris Village Ministries
prepares children to be compassionate leaders and responsible citizens,
guiding them to make a positive impact in the world.
