To Imagine...

Living in a
community
that shows up

You will hear the boom in Barksdale Gym as wrestlers take the mat and feel the silence that falls after your friend takes the stage.

You will experience the cheers at games no matter what the sport. You will see the chaotic joy in each lap of the Doughnut Run because at VES we show up for everyone.

Our Community

Learning How
to think, not
What to think

The teachers at VES will challenge you to come at issues from different directions and help you develop an inquisitive mind.

At VES you will learn the value of listening, questioning, and forming your own opinions while respecting those of others. You will, therefore, graduate with superior communication and critical-thinking skills.
