Our College
History
Vine Fruits College was established in September 2023 sharing same beginning with Vine Fruits Children School and its need for educational expansion and the desire of Parents to continue with the same quality of care and academic excellence that VFCS is known for.
Vine Fruits College has its foundations in the Christian faith, but we respect and appreciate other religious beliefs our students may have. In a spiritual sense, we firmly believe that children can develop their strength of character and attain an absolute love for God. The committed care from our pastoral team promotes the undertaking of Christian-based activities designed to propel our students to reach their God-given potential.
Through being guided by spiritual mindedness, our students can become well-rounded children of God. This is essential for our students to reach the peak of their moral and academic excellence.
Our reputable educational approach is applied to more than just academic excellence. We offer a balanced curriculum of sports, moral guidance and leadership training. Our aim is to give nourishment to the minds, bodies and souls of our students by engaging them in guided social activities. With this guidance, our pastoral team assists our students in developing a spirit for healthy competition and selfless service. All of our students are readily encouraged to take advantage of the wide range of clubs and societies, including: basketball club, athletics club, chess club, graphic arts & animation club, the debate & elocution club and the choir to name but a few.
