As a parent of a CVA graduate, I saw first hand how the small, caring community assisted my child in developing confidence, the ability to overcome adversity, the pursuit of individual dreams and goals, and learning time management skills. In public school, my child was just another number but at CVA my child was valued as an individual. Even though my child wasn't the strongest athlete, the same personal attention was afforded by teachers and coach as they gave to the top athletes. I highly recommend the school for those kids who have a love of winter sports. I would also tell their parents that the school put as much attention into the academics as they do to the athletics for which they're known.
Great snow sports program! CVA also has a few great teachers. If the level of nepotism at the school was corrected the overall student experience would be enhanced significantly.
Looking back on our child's high school experience at CVA I would asked to talk to other parents of students with no school affiliation to get unbiased feel for the CVA experience ahead.
