We were very torn about choosing private over an excellent public school in our neighborhood, however, VBS has been an outstanding success for our family. Our daughter is in Kindergarten and we are thrilled with her experience there. We feel included in the school, welcomed by the teachers and administrators, and a part of the synagogue's community. If you are looking for a well-balanced Jewish education that will challenge and inspire your child, VBS Day School is an excellent choice.
Don't want to confuse schools here.... The Day School (K through 6th) is separate from the Nursery School. The 11/6 review seems to be referring to the NS, which has a rather non-academic, developmental approach. The Day School is a fully accredited, academically rigorous elementary school. It blends a Jewish education and high moral values with a very good elementary school education. Efforts are made via a 'Student Progress Team' to address the needs of all students, accelerated, average and remedial to see that all are learning and growing. This school provides the best academics you will find at a Jewish Day School, and they turn out menchy kids. Definitely worth looking at if a well- rounded, Jewish Education is on your list.
Awful school on many levels. Its great until they start Nursery school, then everything changes! Your child is no longer a priority, learning is not an issue since the school believes in 'learning through play' and all they care about is $$$$. Put your money into another jewish private school or a public school with good scores. VBS is not a good school.. take it from a parent speaking the truth!
In all honesty, this is one of the very best schools in Los Angeles and perhaps in the west coast. The combination of academic excellence, strong moral values, international programs, the most supportive athletic program and stellar leadership by the administration, board, Rabbi's, parents and teachers make this school a role model for others to emulate. I cannot speak more highly of this school, it's vision and leadership...my two children began to thrive there and continue to this day, in large part due to what they receive there. I wish all schools would be like VBS Day School.
