The teachers are great and very good at explainging things.
GO DEB AND Mrs. T-T
SVEC has tons of arts available and cool sports that usually are not offered like tennis and rock climbing. The school has won some robotics awards. Lots of nerds :> Since it's a homeschool center parents are always there and the school is really nice and clean. Kids are very appropiate.
