Student Testimonials
This school is just a big family, loving and caring. You’ll always have help and someone to be there for you. You will never feel like you’re alone. The hardest thing to do in the school is to say goodbye.
Abbie, grade 9
One of the reasons I like this school is because everyone here is so accepting of who you are and who you want to be. I love the one-on-one help here - it really helps me. VVA is really fun because we have “life skills” that we learn everyday. When I first started at VVA, four years ago, I was so scared and stressed out, but now I'm a completely different person. This school really helped me find who I really am.
Liv, grade 8
I like Via Vita because we get to do lots things other schools don’t, such as go on lots of fun field trips throughout the year, or going on walks in the woods and lots of other stuff. Via Vita also has good teachers who help you 1 on 1 with your work which helps a lot. Thanks, Via Vita.
Cristian, grade 9
When I started here, I was a completely different person. I didn’t know who I was. I blurted out, and lots of stuff like that. Now, I think I’m beginning to see who I am, and what I can be. I know how to manage my thoughts, I know how to respect people and my friends. I can express myself without feeling judged, and show off my personality, and feel loved for it.
Lauryn, grade 8
Via Vita is a safe and comforting environment. There is ways support from teachers when you need it. You can tell that the students are top priority. Via Vita is never boring!
Violet, grade 8
I love Via Vita because I can tell the teachers really care. They love doing extra curricular activities with us. Things like sleepovers, showcases, teen nights and more. I’m really grateful for that.
Jacob, grade 9
Via Vita helped me become the unique individual I am. They helped me socially and to help me try new things. I love having friends that are funny and unique like me.
Sydney, grade 8
I love Via Vita because they love us, encourage us, to be ourselves. When we need help, the teachers help us get through the more challenging subjects of our work and tough parts of being human.
Gavin, grade 9
I have been going to Via Vita for a while now and I have learned more than just the academics. I’ve learned that sometimes you should just do it, that you shouldn’t over think things, that it’s good to ask questions, that anything is possible, and many more important life skills. It’s all thanks to all the great help we get from all of the teachers.
Dylan, grade 9
Via Vita is a unique way of learning where everyone is valued. Via Via is good for all learning types. It is a place where the teachers will always pay attention and help you. It is a very good learning space. I like the cupcakes that we do for everyone’s birthday at the end of each month!
Luc, grade 8
This school helped me figure out who I am and helped me embrace it open mindedly. I am a completely different person now, thanks to this school. I’m happier.
Sadie, grade 8
I love this school because of the options that are provided to me and my peers. Such as, the cooking skills I learn and the music I have made. Without this school, I would have never been able to play and love bass guitar, and now Mr. Ryan makes me feel like I’m the best! I love Showcase week and the field trips. Showcase week is less homework, and more experience in things that we use in real life. I love acting and playing the bass. We get lots of outdoor time and we get to have some time with the younger grades. Also, love the camping trips!
Adam, grade 8
I think that the thing I love most about Via Vita is the people, all the kids and the teachers are so kind and understanding. When I’m at Via Vita, I just feel at home, like I can just be myself. It just feels like home, all of the stress from home or homework, the teachers just calm you down and everyday is just amazing. I love how everyone is so comfortable with each other and the students get to make some of the decisions.

AJ, grade 8
When I came to Via Vita, I was a little nervous because I have never been to a private school and I didn’t know anyone but they welcomed me in like I started on the very year it opened and never made me feel like an outsider. My teaches are always here to help me when I need them the most, if it’s an IXL I’m stuck on or if I just need someone to talk to, of course, there a few bumps along the way but we always find a way to smooth it out. I love my school.
Aila, grade 7
My name is James. I have been here for 4 years. I love this school because there are always helping hands. The teachers at Via Vita are the best I have ever had. They talk to you like you are a person, not a robot or like you’re like anyone else. You’re you! The rules are logical here, not nonsense.
James, grade 6
When I started at Via Vita Academy, I was a lot different. I acted different than now. The teachers change you, in a good way. They help you when you need it. They always bring you up when you need it!
Rowan, grade 6
I love Via Vita. When I first came I was scared, but peers in my class were kind to me instantly. Soon, they became my best friends. When it comes to work, I felt like it was building up fast, but the teachers were understanding and gave a lot of help.

Lola, grade 7
Here at Via Vita, we focus on the arts as well as education, adding a little colour to everyday life. The teachers at this school are a myriad of things, such as supportive, kind, and have a good sense of humour. They focus on teaching their students how to value each others feelings and to be themselves. Via Vita is truly an amazing school.
Molly, grade 6
When I first came to Via Vita, I was nervous, but the warm welcome I had made me not scared anymore. Via Vita helped me becaome more positive. Now, when I am older, I will have more skills.

Eloise, grade 4
Small school big difference! If I didn’t go to this school, I don’t know what I would do. If it weren’t for this school, I’d have less friends and less imagination. Even though it is small, it is still my favourite school. The teachers and students are amazing! Even though we may make mistakes, we can always persevere and go through it together.
Simeon, grade 5

I love how every year we make dinner and perform a show for friends and family. I wish that everyone that is having troubles at their own school, could come to VVA. I don’t know what I would have done without VVA. This school is like the candle flame leading you through the darkness. The classes are small and it makes you feel like a big family, where the teachers are your parents and the students are your siblings.
