What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

My children have attended VGE for the last 3 years and I have to say that the communication between teachers and parents is wonderful. As the mother of a not-quite-special- needs child, I find the involvement of the counselors, speech therapists and teachers to be above and beyond the call of duty. The level and challenge of the work that my sons bring home is appropriate for their age ranges and there seems to be realistic goals for them to meet each quarter. Close Quote
