Victory Christian Academy in Lakeland has ONCE AGAIN RAISED their TUITION for 2022-2023. https:\/\/www.vcaonline.org\/admissions\/tuition-and-fees<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per Student: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Kindergarten through 5th Grade \u2013 $8,400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 6th through 12th Grade \u2013 $8,600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This does NOT include any testing fees, application\u00a0fees,\u00a0sports fees, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly two decades, Victory Church and Victory Christian Academy stated that a new school building was going to be built by 2018. It is now 2022 and nothing has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small portables that provide zero protection from a hurricane or emergency event are still there. Their structures are like tin cans in a parking lot. The walls are thin aluminum with a large single pane window and a blind. How can this be cost-effective with the cost of electricity being raised? There is no insulation worth mentioning to help with the cost of the air conditioning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory Church has an account for Victory Christian Academy with several million and the funds haven’t been used on the new building.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They put up another portable for the athletic department, but not a safe and secure building for our educational department! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parents are questioning where the money is, but not getting any answers since they are not “church members”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we get answers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like a building that is secure and safe for our children now. No more false promises! We’ve been waiting and now our children are not graduating from a safe and secure new building.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

LCS is looking more and more promising with what they have to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least LCS keeps promises and has a safe and secure building.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
