I attended VMS for eight years and I loved all of it. I made lifelong friends and deep connections with people that continue to strengthen my faith and enrich my life to this day. I wouldn't trade my time there for anything. Some years were more memorable than others, but even when we had to isolate and do work from home in my final year there, the teachers and my peers made it special and I remember that time fondly. Based on my time there, the teachers I had, and the friends I met, I would give VMS 5/5.

We love Ventura Missionary School. We have three children who attend. This is an art enriched school that focuses on the whole development of a child. All grades are learning Spanish, music, computer, art and get to go to the school library. All the home room teachers have their credentials too! That is a rarity in private schools. We love that when we come to school it feels like a family.
