What does a day at Vine look like?
We meet one day a week for 25 weeks: 13 in the fall and 12 in the spring. The day begins at 9:00 a.m. with a morning assembly: hymn singing, Bible verse recitation, the Pledge of Allegiance, parent encouragement, prayer, and the Doxology.
At 9:30 a.m., students head to their classrooms with their homeroom teacher and parents. They rotate through four 45-minute blocks: two led by the homeroom teacher (reviewing memory work in history, geography, Latin, timeline, historical literature, and presentations), and two blocks for science and fine arts (art or music). Parents stay in the classroom and participate.
At 12:00 p.m., the community shares lunch together. From 1:00–3:00 p.m., students in grades 4-7 attend language arts (grammar and writing). Younger siblings enjoy electives like P.E., foreign language, or choir.
Bridge and Hall students (grades 7–12) continue with afternoon classes until 3:00 p.m.
What is expected of parents on a Community Day at Vine?
– Participate in their child’s classes
– Support homeroom teachers
– Help create a warm, focused learning environment
We understand parents with multiple kids may float between rooms. Everyone helps through roles like setup, lunch duty, cleanup, or other needs. At Vine, we believe many hands make light work, and every parent plays a role in cultivating a joyful, Christ-centered space.
What about the classical education model?
Vine is rooted in classical education while drawing inspiration from Charlotte Mason, especially in the early years through rich literature, hands-on science, and the fine arts.
Classical education is the foundation of our community. It aligns with the stages of child development: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric; and emphasizes deep thinking, truth, beauty, and goodness through literature, history, and philosophy.
