my niece, nephew and daughter attend this school, teachers have provided excellent education and support, also we do a few of the other specialized programs according to their needs; they stay InTouch with parents throughout the school yr, we've had a great experience. I would definitely recommend this school.

My grandson attends Vahale. This year during the "Virtual School" process, the administration and the teachers are exceptional. I love his teacher. I can't wait till he can be in class and get the full affect of her personality. These teachers are doing an amazing job and shoyld be rewarded. I get constant one on one help whenever I ask with helping my grandson.

We have had the best experience with both office staff and teachers. At the time our son was under the par for his reading level 3 years ago. With the help of all of his teachers and reading buddies he's over his standard level. (Thankfully). This is just one of the great things I can say. The teachers make everything FUN. Literally. My son has been doing safety patrol for 2 years now and he does it because he knows at the end of the year he gets to go to wild waves. While he's scarifing his time and sleep (we all know that feeling) he sees reward in helping others. To top it off he doesn't have loads and loads of homework. I mean let's be honest, how much true familytime dies everyone have at the end of the day? Between dinner, showers, and working late not a ton can get done.He previously in a different school and he had over an hour of homework every night that he would have to have help . NOT okay. Plus reading after. On behalf of the Brewster's and our son, THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE and we will DEARLY Miss you ALL!

This school has really been a pleasure to work with. The Principal is amazing and very open-minded. The teachers are doing the best with what they have. Coming from a different state where the schools were completely understaffed, and the only way the children got music, art or science was all parent volunteered based. Sometimes it's hard to see all the resources when you're expecting the districts to provide everything. Parents need to realize it's not the schools responsibility to teach everything to children, parents must be involved in their children's education. This school does many events for raising money and they also take the kids on great field trips. Diversity is so important to show our children, so they learn to accept everyone no matter where they come from. It's one of the many things I love about Valhalla.
