We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I would like to see a wider selection of classes, not just the bare minimum. Most of the teachers and staff are great. They seem like they want everyone to succeed.

I will be graduating from Van-Far in May 2023. The staff is doing an amazing job at teaching the students and pushing us to do better. You grow and learn so much here at Van-Far. For a small town, the school has so many activities and events.
