VBFS is an incredible school.The teachers and administrators are committed to each and every student. VBFS teachers are wonderful and dedicated. The teachers believe in a hands on approach to guiding students through lessons. Students are challenged academically and have many opportunities outside the classroom. The teachers are readily available to students outside of class time providing support if a student is struggling to understand a concept. Students are active participants in their own educations.

I'm a former educator who worked at whole child learning schools in the West Coast. I was determined to find a school in Virginia Beach that believed in this concept and my daughter could thrive. This school cultivates a passion for learning. The teachers are incredible providing individualized learning. When my daughter needed extra support the teacher provided extra time after school. My daughter is respected and appreciated for her different opinions. Critical thinking is embraced.

Big let down. Awful experience, very disappo...
