Testimonials

“I am so genuinely thankful that I got to experience my high school years at SCVi! Thank you for all the memories! I love you all!”

“Your school has been an amazing program for my child. Thank you.”

“The teachers and faculty were always wonderful, the administrators always listening. My boys did exceptionally well academically and socially, graduated with high honors, and now are both finishing up their freshman year at UC Santa Cruz. They applied to a few UCs, a couple of Cal State, and got into most.”

“I am grateful for their experience and all the friends we all made along the way.”

“Emotional growth is as important as academics for children, especially young children. PBL enables kids to enjoy learning and challenges them to think and process information in an engaging and exciting way. SCVi cements that crucial foundation and provides a safe place for kids to learn and grow.”

“If it weren’t for all those class presentations for projects we had, I would not have been prepared for real-world interpersonal communication skills. Thank you, SCVi!”
