I have had a great experience with the school these past two years. Teachers are amazing they communicate thoroughly and reach out to students. My daughter is in first grade now and we are so excited to have her sister join her next year for kindergarten.

I like the atmosphere of this school. It''s not a huge school, which is extremely nice so that my son can get attention and education from his teachers. All the teachers (so far) are great and responsive to parent requests. The nurses are good too.

MVRCS is an excellent institution for many reasons but most importantly: the teachers and the tight-knit community feel at the school. My son participates in many activities and community events at school. We get the best of the best teachers who hold our son to a high academic standard. I believe he is getting a private school education without paying the hefty tuition fee. Overall, the quality of the education at MVRCS is worth the negatives out there and is an excellent foundation for your child.
