This school was old and run down. I did not enjoy most of my peers. There were, however, two good things that came out of the this school for me. One would be the fact that I found my future career choice there by joining the technical theatre club. The other would be the fact that I had a lot of fun taking the visual art class there.

I love VAPA and my children love it as well. The teachers are great, it's family-oriented they have a lot of fun nights for families at the school. From camping out to International Day, and so much more. The staff is amazing and helpful. My kids love attending and I recommend it to parents.

The staff is super involved with the 'whole' student, making sure ALL needs are being met. I am happy my grandson has attended this school.

Amazing. I am so happy my daughter finally got to get into this school. It meets her needs and she has learned more in this one year than i have seen at her prior school.
