It was the worst school we have ever experienced. This school is not a school that respects students as individuals. (But schools love money.) The biggest mistake of my life was recommending this school to my child. While the child attended this school, the insults he received from the teachers and the school's bystander attitude left a great scar on the child as time passed. I do not think this school is a suitable institution to teach students.

I came to VES as a sophomore and was shocked to realize how different it was to my past high school. The institution is unparalleled for its ability to bridge friendships across grade levels and create a community atmosphere that makes my teachers seem as close as aunts and uncles. In my senior year, reflecting on my experiences, I am so thankful for how Virginia Episcopal has shaped me to take advantage of any future challenges I face both academically and personally.

I'm a senior at VES and it has changed my life, and more importantly, has changed me. The teachers truly care about the students, and I feel so lucky to be part of a community where everyone knows me and wants me to be the best that I can be. I am not ready to say goodbye in May!!

A lot has changed since I attended, but there is one constant, the size of the classes. It was easy to get the personal attention, if needed. You were expected to participate in all class discussions. This shy freshman turned into a vibrant senior. The rigors of the academics prepared me perfectly f...
