Parent Partnership

Parent Partnership

At Virtualis, we believe something radically countercultural: parents—not schools—are the primary educators of their children.

Modern educational systems increasingly act as if children belong to the state. Politicians say, “It takes a village.” Schools act as if they’re entitled to shape not only a child’s knowledge but their identity, values, and future. This is not only a rejection of classical education—it’s a rejection of parental authority.

At Virtualis, we reject that rejection.

Education Belongs to the Family

We affirm what is true by nature and by moral law: parents have both the right and the responsibility to educate their children. That responsibility cannot be outsourced. It can be supported—but not transferred. In this light, all schooling is a form of homeschooling, whether it’s done around the kitchen table, through an online platform, or in a brick-and-mortar classroom.

When parents enroll at Virtualis, they’re not handing over their children—they’re inviting partnership. They remain in charge. We simply walk alongside them, offering a world-class classical curriculum and integrated formation that respects and reinforces the family’s role.

Too many schools give lip service to “partnering with parents.” But their policies and practices tell another story. They say parents are the “first educators”—but imply that professional teachers take it from there. We don’t believe that. And we never will.

An Indictment — and a Call to Accountability

At Virtualis, we affirm what classical education has always taught: parents are the primary educators of their children. But with that sacred role comes serious responsibility. The failures of modern schooling are not just the fault of broken systems—they are also a mirror, reflecting a cultural drift where too many parents outsource formation and expect transformation.

All too often, schools are treated like daycares, while children’s emotions are protected more than their character is formed. Educators are second-guessed rather than partnered with. Discipline is questioned, not supported. And when students struggle, blame is shifted—away from the home, and onto the classroom.

We don’t say this to scold. We say it because we’re here to do something different.

Virtualis was built for families who are ready to step back into their rightful role. Not alone—but in genuine partnership.

We are not here to replace you. We are here to stand beside you. To equip you. To challenge you. To champion your child with you.

Because we believe your child doesn’t just need content. They need character. They don’t just need credentials. They need conviction.

And they don’t just need school.
They need you.

Backed by Conviction, Proven in Practice

Dr. Dana Rodriguez, the founder of Vitae Formation, has modeled this principle for over two decades in healthcare. As a pediatric provider, she has never forced a family to follow the “herd” when it came to decisions like vaccination. She is not anti-vaccine—but she is pro-parent. She believes parents have a right to make informed decisions without pressure or guilt from doctors or systems.

That same conviction shapes everything we do at Virtualis. Whether in education or health, we support families with integrity, excellence, and respect—never coercion. Because the goal is not compliance. The goal is formation, rooted in truth and grounded in love.

Smart Parents Choose Support, Not Surrender

If you know your child’s education is ultimately your responsibility, you don’t hand it over—you steward it. You seek partners who respect your authority and elevate your role. That’s what we do.

We are not a system. We are a support. And we believe your family, rightly ordered, is the most powerful force in a child’s life.

Welcome to Virtualis—where the parent is not only heard, but honored.
