Director’s Corner – October

October 1, 2014 By Matt Miller

2014-10-vva-newsletter-DirectorsCorner

2014-10-vva-newsletter-DirectorHeadShotThe first month of VVA is now in the history books, and I would like to take a moment to thank the entire VVA community for helping us get off to a great start! Parents, thank you for entrusting your children to us and for being quick to respond whenever we have called a meeting, asked for your input, or given you a form to sign. Teachers, you are the heart of our school and your creativity, commitment, and service to our students is a beautiful example of the love of Jesus. Staff, you are the “behind the scenes” workers who keep our school running smoothly. Together, we have all been a part of creating something new that will be a blessing to our community and the city of Musanze for many years.

The core values of VVA are excellence, service, and character. Our vision is to become the premiere international school in northern Rwanda, laying an academic foundation for students to succeed in university studies, preparing students for service in their communities, and facilitating student’s spiritual growth and character development. My hope is that you as parents have already been able to see these core values in action in our school. Our concern is in the development of your children as whole people who are able to contribute to the positive growth and development of this beautiful country in which we all live and serve. It is an honor to work along side of all of you as we seek the wellbeing and future of your children and Rwanda! ~ Matt Miller
