Overall, I think VES really prepared me well for college, and also gave me a unique high school experience that I would never imagine before coming to here. The faculties are very supportive, and the close knit community can really help with making new friends and starting great relationships.

There is also lots of involvement during the weekends and events.

A lot has changed since I attended, but there is one constant, the size of the classes. It was easy to get the personal attention, if needed.
