"The power of the community is hard to put into words. It's about warmth and acceptance; it's about being friendly and knowing everyone in the building. It's about supporting kids, giving them the ability to become confident. They're not afraid to try new things because they've got a community standing behind them.” - Parent
“VCS has helped me to learn, helped me to find my voice, to find my confidence. It has prepared me for high school.”
– 8th Grade Graduation Speech
VCS’s approach is to teach children to love the process of learning rather than working for a grade.
