Testimonials

“VAVA has been a huge blessing. We have amazing teachers who are licensed with the state of Virginia, counselors, and support staff—everything that a brick-and-mortar school offers, available to us at home. Everything my student needs is sent to our home, so I don’t need to find textbooks or curriculum supplies on my own. Elijah was diagnosed with ADHD, and because of the special attention that the teachers at VAVA are able to provide, and the growth we’ve seen in him, we are excited to continue with VAVA for years to come!”

“We are grateful to have found a program where the teachers are great. The curriculum is wonderful, and we have the freedom and flexibility to do other things than just school. Zoey can finish her schoolwork at her own pace. I run my business from home, so we have been given the gift of quality time together. Because of that extra time, we can work on special projects that support Zoey’s dreams, like her YouTube channel and writing books. VAVA has given me the opportunity to build a closer relationship with my daughter during those special years of childhood!”

“We have had such a great experience with VAVA. The teachers and other staff are so kind, helpful, and quick to respond. Our son loves learning again, and we can see that growth mindset showing up in ‘off hours.’ His confidence has skyrocketed, and he does not have to stress anymore about negative influences at school. He still has plenty of time for socializing, swim team, and other fun activities. Our favorite part is that we can take him with us on business trips without him missing a beat—precious family time!”
