The worth of one's educational experience is not just assessed by tests, essays, and final grades. "Fun," at VCS, also makes the grade! The VCS experience is one of inclusion: each student has a full spectrum of possibilities to express themselves, to find strengths--and showcase these to a warm and caring community of students, staff--and sometimes--a viewing public. Student life extends itself into the community-at-large. We benefit from the surrounding communities' rich cultural heritage. But the true core of the educational experience here is "service". Students connect in a wide range of activities that serve the local community and beyond.
