I am entering my 8th year as a parent at ABVM. I am so happy to have found a wonderful home away from home for my children. There have been some changes administratively in our time but one thing has remained constant... my kids are happy, have a wonderful group of friends, and are kind + respectful. I love all the extras the school has from the new STEM classes, advanced math placements, choir, performing arts, ribbon dancing, etc. My kids love being involved and we love keeping them busy!

This Catholic school has a small family feel with a big heart. Families are very friendly, and hard-working, and many are involved in various activities. My 2 children benefit from the small class sizes and because of this, they receive a very personalized education. The school has a new principal and a new energy. It's a wonderful community.

Such a gem of a school! Small class sizes, excellent academic instruction and so many amazing extracurriculars like music, art, sports teams that compete regionally, and Spanish language instruction in all grades starting in TK. Many teachers have master's degrees and many years of experience teaching. This is more than a school, it is a welcoming place where your child will be part of a community. We love ABVM!
