My children attended this school for 3 years. It has it's pros and cons. One of the things I liked is the fostering of homework, responsibility for oneself educationally and academically. The fine arts program and clubs. Some of the teachers are great and some are prone to bullying your child without

The nice teachers don't last long in this environment. Very clique-ish amongst staff. The fact that it is a family owned and operated business makes it stale and uniform in operations. Not open to futuristic advancement( spanish not taught thoroughly or routinely as offered, not enough computers in classrooms at elementary level). Read less

My oldest girls attended VAP, and now we have relocated and tried the public schools system in our area. VAP, has given my oldest a FAR better education and great study skills. Both of my girls are a good 2 years ahead of all of the students here. My 11th grader is amazed at not only how lazy the

The teachers just don't seem to care and have given the kids here a LOW standard to get away with. I LOVED the school and really enjoyed all of the teachers too.... I ESPECIALLY thank VAP for Homework Club! It was well worth it! I would put my two young ones in VAP in a heart beat. AND I would recommend VAP to anyone in the area!

Education here is Not worth a penny. The public school system in Temecula is better. The administration is rude, and does not respond to questions or concerns.. They act like they are doing you a favor whenever they speak to you once they have your money. They are very clearly driven only by the almighty

Children are behind their peers in public schools particularly as they progress in the grades and the teachers are uninspired. They do not want parent involvement and are arrogant and condescending.

Last minute fees, costumes, field trips, etc. They do not allow parents to have or view their students standardized test scores without a much dreaded appt with owner. They will not let you know how the school rates with other privates or publics in area. When you walk in office to pay, they don't even look up - much less call you by name or mutter Thank You. During events, they rope off front row seats at performances for their family - who are late. Read less
