Registration Opens Soon

Academics

Valley Creek Leadership Academy (VCLA) students have two different kinds of curriculum during their 2 year experience. They will walk through our VCLA courses, and they’ll have classes they take with Southeastern University. Through our partnership with SEU, we’re able to offer two different associate degrees to help prepare students for a career in ministry or in the marketplace.

SEU Classes: Mondays & Wednesdays

Students will attend their SEU classes together using SEU’s digital platform. They’ll meet every Monday and Wednesday at our Flower Mound Campus. Students will be in class with an SEU professor that loves Jesus and brings the professionalism, expertise, and training you would expect from one of the country’s top private universities.

VCLA Courses: Tuesdays & Thursdays

VCLA offers courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays at our Flower Mound Campus. Our Core Curriculum consists of Theology, Character, Leadership, and Bible courses.

Each class listed in our VCLA Course Catalog represents one to two hours in a workshop ­style classroom experience where students activate and practice what they were just taught. VCLA is a training center, so our students aren’t just sitting and taking notes. We want them to steward everything they learn. Each class is experiential, engaging, interactive, and has elements that will connect with them as young adults.

Since they will be taking a full load of college classes, these courses will not have outside homework. However, these are college-level courses, so there’s a high expectation of excellence.

VCLA courses, SEU classes, student life, mission trips, retreats, are all designed to prepare young adults for their next step in college or their career, and it’s all included in their tuition. You can find out more about the cost of tuition, degree plans, financial aid, and more by going to VCLA.com/SEU.
