Our Story
Vine Christian Academy
The first Vine Christian Academy (VCA) began in Brazil about 20 years ago, born out of a deep desire to raise up the next generation of leaders with both academic excellence and Christlike character. This vision was carried forward by our lead pastors, Raph and Juliana, who came to the United States as missionaries to plant Vine Church SWFL. They brought with them a strong passion for investing in children, believing in their potential to shape the future through godly leadership and moral integrity.
Our Story Continues
After nearly a decade of planting and growing the church in Southwest Florida, Pastor Raph and Pastor Juliana, alongside our dedicated directors, Adriana Almeida and Gabriela Tombs, realized their vision of opening a school that integrates faith and learning. In 2022, Vine Christian Academy was established to serve the local community by offering children a transformative education rooted in biblical principles and academic excellence.
Since then, VCA has touched the lives of countless children, equipping them not only with the knowledge to succeed academically but also with the moral and spiritual foundation to thrive as leaders in their communities. Every child who walks through our doors is nurtured in a Christ-centered environment, where their hearts and minds are shaped for a future of purpose and influence.

Vine Christian Academy is also part of VINE.SA (Vine Schools Association), a global network of schools united by a shared commitment to The Principle Approach Education®. AEVIDE spans multiple countries, including England, Portugal, Brazil, and Pakistan, impacting thousands of children worldwide with an approach that integrates faith, character, and academic excellence.

At VCA, we believe education is more than knowledge—it’s about instilling values that will guide students for life. We are proud to continue building this legacy, partnering with families to raise a generation of Christlike leaders who will positively influence their communities, their nations, and the world.
