Hear From Students Like You
VLACS has given me the boost of confidence to better my life, as well as a chance to say “I did it!”
The teachers are very helpful. No matter how many times I email them, I get a response right away.
The biggest thing that VLACS focuses on is building a relationship with our students and our students’ families. That’s our number one priority, because once you have that relationship, then the teaching side becomes easy, and the learning side becomes easier and more authentic. It’s not just a computer screen, it’s person-to-person.
