Venture (Alternative) School

Reviews

  We LOVE Venture. Our son joined Venture during the last half of 8th grade. He was struggling, coming home from school wiped out. He took two classes at Venture that year (English and Science), continuing at DVMS for the rest. The positive change in how he felt about his schoolwork, and himself was immediate. Venture let him move forward, even finishing science early for the year, earning As in both classes. The one on one instruction with Venture's incredibly caring and committed teachers is amazing. He regained confidence and spirit. Grades also shot up at DVMS. Venture is now full time (9th grade) with a concurrent Algebra class at our nearby HS; challenging but rewarding, and all As thus far. He is figuring out what works for him to truly enjoy the educational process. He is looking fwd to concurrent college courses in English. Independent study takes self-discipline and a lot of parental support and guidance. Some kids get their battery charged in the larger, busier schools. For others, like our son, the larger the classroom, the more his battery drains. Venture charges and challenges him. We are so proud and happy to be part of the Venture community. ...More Reviews
