A Note About College Admission

One of the most common questions schools like ours receive is whether graduating from Vineyard of Faith Academy guarantees acceptance into a college or university.

The answer is no; and this is true for every educational institution. No public school, private school, charter school, homeschool program, or umbrella school can guarantee admission to a college, university, trade school, military program, or other post-secondary institution.

Each institution establishes its own admission requirements and evaluates every applicant according to its own policies. Requirements may include high school coursework, grades, entrance exams, essays, interviews, portfolios, community service, or other criteria.

Vineyard of Faith Academy is committed to helping families understand graduation requirements and prepare students for their future goals. We encourage parents to begin researching the admission requirements of any colleges, universities, trade schools, military branches, or career programs their student may wish to pursue early in their high school years to ensure they meet all applicable requirements.
