Academic success is strongest when wisdom spans decades. At Christian Village Academy, retirees, parents, and teen alumni unite to create a 360-degree support system that boosts skills and self-esteem all year long.
• Grandparents’ Story Corner
“Grandfriends” read classics and cultural tales, expanding vocabulary and sparking thoughtful questions in pre-K literacy circles.
• Teen-Alumni STEM Mentors
High-school graduates return to guide robotics builds and coding challenges, proving big kids can be the best role models.
• Parent Skill-Share Sessions
Chefs, nurses, and entrepreneurs host mini-workshops—teaching measurement through baking or anatomy with stethoscopes—turning careers into kid-sized labs.
• Community Wisdom Panels
Local veterans, artists, and first responders answer children’s questions, connecting social-studies units to real-life courage, creativity, and service.
Why It Matters
Research shows students with multi-generational mentors score higher in reading fluency and display stronger empathy. Our own data mirror those findings—discipline referrals drop markedly during mentorship weeks.
