Why Trades and Technology Matter at VCS
Practical Skills for Life
Courses in woodworking, construction, and engines teach students hands-on skills they can use immediately and carry into adulthood. From measuring and building to repairing and maintaining, students learn the value of working with their hands in ways that support both family life and future careers.
Innovation & Problem-Solving
Students face real-world challenges like designing go-karts, building motorized bikes, or programming robots. These projects push them to troubleshoot, think critically, and come up with creative solutions — the same type of problem-solving that employers and colleges look for.
Confidence Through Achievement
There’s nothing like the sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing a finished project. As students cut, weld, build, or code, they gain confidence in their ability to overcome obstacles, meet deadlines, and deliver results. That confidence transfers into academics, leadership, and future work.
Career & College Preparation
Trades & Tech classes prepare students for multiple pathways. Whether they pursue college engineering programs, technical schools, or skilled trades, they graduate with a foundation of experience that gives them an edge. These courses also teach teamwork, safety, and responsibility — qualities valued in every profession.
Faith in Work
At VCS, work is not just about skill; it’s about purpose. Students learn that diligence, stewardship, and craftsmanship are ways to glorify God. By approaching projects with excellence, they discover how their gifts and hard work can serve both the Lord and the world around them.
