Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is education really ministry?
A. YES! Education opens doors that you wouldn't believe. Parents are passionate about their kids and will do whatever they can to make their children successful. By being an affordable, quality, "American" style school and the best school they can send their children to, ICSV can draw in people who would normally never set foot into the door of a church because ICSV is the best school they can send their kids to. This provides the opportunity for us to share the Lord with students who may have never been given this chance.   In this year alone there are 54 different countries represented in the school - more than in any other ACSI accredited school in the world!  It is amazing that God leads so many different countries to our school!


 Q. Why must you raise support if students are paying tuition?
A. One of the primary purposes for ICSV's existence is to be a support to the missionary community in and around Vienna. If the school paid a salary to the staff they would have to pay 140% of that amount in taxes to the government (10,000 becomes 24,000). That combined cost would push tuition costs way beyond what the missionaries could afford. Even amongst the non-missionary community ICSV reaches out to those that don't have a lot of money. Many, many students come from families that can't afford the other English speaking schools. They come to the school because it is affordable and it is in English. While at ICSV they hear the Gospel, see our lives, and hopefully come to know the Lord.


Q. How long is your commitment to Vienna Christian School?
A. I will be beginning my ministery in Vienna in the summer of 2012 and will be serving at least 2 years.
