Value of Physical Labor
Work is an integral part of VVS and is embodied in the school's work jobs program which incorporates three of the school's mission principles: the value of physical labor, service to others, and environmental stewardship. In the early years of the school, students and faculty worked together to literally build the school’s facilities. Today, VVS offers students a number of ways to learn the value of physical labor. Daily morning dorm chores, a weekly work job program, and several community work days are scattered throughout the academic year. Work jobs include the VVS garden, barns, and recycling program.
