School Reviews
| 3 MVA school is ok and it`s really hard to be strict but they force you and then you got to do it. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Why |
| 5 MVA is a school the encourages and pushes respect, reason and responsibility. The teachers are there to support the students and give them what they need to move on in this world. Although not many extracurricular activities the students seem to keep on top of their studies and enjoy coming to the school. As a member of the PTA, we look forward to parents joining and helping the school to continue to be one of the best in the city. - Posted by Parent - jgj60 |
