Our Location
Every day we are at school, our decision to drive 40 minutes each way is reinforced. The recent Celebration of Learning was a tangible measure of the value of a VMS education. We deeply enjoyed having both daughters walk us through their year of education in all topics. Their pride was matched by ours as we reviewed their work and the progress they had made over the course of the year. Lower School Parent
