VICTORY ACADEMY OCALA, INC
OCALA, FLORIDA

We have integrated a Christian education with a classical curriculum, innovative programs, and an environment that promotes independent thinkers. We believe this builds character and responsibility and helps us achieve our mission. We are proud to partner with Ocala United. United is a student ministry for middle school, high school, and college-aged students. We have looked around at the churches and the student youth groups of our city and have seen some gaps that, if filled, would truly widen the reach of our ministry in helping students grow in their personal relationships with God. We know that if we want to reach the students that no one else is reaching, we have to do the things that no one else is doing. So, in response to that, we approach ministry from a very different perspective and aim much higher than is humanly possible. We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity. (Mark 12:28-31, Luke 6:31) Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes directed toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the values of Victory Academy Ocala. We believe that in order to preserve the function and integrity of Victory Academy Ocala as part of the local Body of Christ and to provide a biblical role model to Victory Academy Ocala’s staff, students, and the community, it is imperative that all persons employed by Victory Academy Ocala in any capacity, or who serve as volunteers, agree to and abide by this Statement on Faith. (Matthew 5:16, Philippians 2:14-16, I Thessalonians 5:22) This Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality and the proper conduct of mankind, is the sole and final source of all that we believe. Victory Academy Ocala’s Governing Board of Directors has final interpretive authority regarding the Bible’s meaning and application as it relates to Victory Academy Ocala’s faith, doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline. mission is to provide a Christian based classical college preparatory education for children in pre-k through 12th grade which develops the “body, mind and spirit to the glory of God.” To that end we commit to: leadership which inspires and empowers the faculty and students to carry out our mission Triangle Philosophy Triangle Philosophy At Victory Academy we use the triangle philosophy to fulfill the development of “body, mind and spirit.” This equilateral triangle incorporates the academic, athletic and spiritual aspects of the school. side, nurturing a strong academic work ethic to develop life-long learners is our expressed priority.
