The teachers love the students and invest in each and every student personally. I have gone to this school since I was in K4 and have loved every teacher that has sacrificed to teach in this school.

The classes are were very structured and one could tell that the teachers there really cared about their students. It's a very religion oriented program but was fairly inclusive all things considered. The only complaint I had was really with the dress code, however in retrospect it wasn't so bad.

Let me start off by saying as an alumni of the school if it were not for my teachers I would not be the person I am today. The teachers are all great. The student teacher ratio is also the best that you will find anywhere. If I ever needed any help I always felt that it was ok to approach the teacher and ask for help. Yes I graduated in 2006 and most of the teachers I had are still there. If there was one teacher who puts the students first is Mrs. Fortenberry. I seriously believe if it were not for her most of us would not be where we are today. Some of us have become teachers, political science majors, doctors, pastors, missionaries, and much more. I really do refer this school to anyone. I also plan to one day enroll my own children into MVBS.

Great I would recommend this school to everyone. I went to MVBS my entire life from preschool up until I graduated from High School. I was taught a lot from how to treat my fellow class and team mates to how to respect authority. I learned how that if we do thing right the first time then we don't g...

We started with K-4. My child loves her friends and teachers. I agree the dress code is strict for some more than others. I've seen many girls with short dresses on, and only some children are reprimanded for this. The children must attend church as part of their grade. I find the smaller class size...

Bad. If you are not of the Baptist faith you are overlooked and not really welcomed. Dress code is horrible and needs updating to real world standards.
