Student Testimonials
This school is very special. It’s full of kind, wonderful people that put a smile on your face. We have lots of mixed classes, and small classes, where you learn everything from english, math, to kitchen, music, and outdoor. We also have other classes which bring all of us together. From pre-k’s to grade nines, all of us get along and everyone learns something from each other.

Via Vita is like a family to me. I know all the people here and I get to learn from everyone, even the grades that are younger than me. It's an amazing experience and it's alway so exciting to see what the next day will bring.

Throughout my years of being here. I’ve learnt so much more than I thought. Not only academic wise, but life wise. I’ve learnt how to properly cut an onion, be a role model towards the Pre-K’s, how to navigate the amount of personalities I’ll encounter, and so much more than I can’t express. Going into highschool I feel so much more confident in the skills I have, and how to be evermore confident in myself.
-A.B.
I love this school because you connect with others and there's so much diversity. There is so much to love and we have amazing teachers.
-B.W.
I have made many friends and memories. I’ve learned how to play guitar, manage my time and write a bibliography in APA format. This is to say that Via Vita has taught me most skills I know today, and set me up for a better future. I have also formed very deep friendships because of the small class environment. Instead of getting to know a lot of people, you get to know a few VERY well, and appreciate each person for who they are. I also enjoy having the same teachers each year because they know how you learn.

Being a student at Via Vita can have a lot of pressure, but I look back at myself and realize how much the staff have helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life. The teachers have helped me find my interests and learn not only math and english, but some of the biggest challenges of life and how to get through them. I am so grateful for Via Vita Academy.

Being a part of Via Vita Academy has been the best experience, because I always know that I can talk to any teacher in the school and they would always understand and help. I always like going on walks with the little kids because I haven’t done many things like that before. Everyone in Via Vita is always making jokes and are really nice to others. My favorite thing that happened so far at the Via Vita was my first showcase. Being a part of a play and having so much fun with everyone was amazing to experience for the first time.

I like being at VVA because the kids get to make decisions, like in Student Council. Learning life skills is also really great like doing chores and putting up the lunch tables, we even get to raise chicks! Literally chicks! I love how little the school is because it’s not so loud and you can ask for help when you need it. Overall, VVA is an amazing school. I couldn't imagine a world without it. P.S. The first chick has hatched and it’s name is Pip!

Outdoor is a class where you go outside to play, work, learn, and have fun. Theatre is a class where you learn to act and lead.
