St. Al has helped my kids grow academically and spiritually. The general/traditional courses are taught at a college level, while the AP and Honors courses that are offered are taught at a graduate school level. I would invite anyone that is truly passionate and interested in their kid`s education to invest in VCS.

This school is outstanding! The faculty and staff are extremely professional and have high expectations of their students. They are also encouraging, supportive, and go out of their way to help students succeed. Moreover, the curriculum is challenging and college-prep, and my children were more than prepared for college because of the knowledge they gained from the curriculum and the use of their Apple MacBooks. In addition to the curriculum, my children had the opportunity to participate and excel in multiple extra-curricular activities. This school truly is top-notch.
