Tours & Shadow Days
At CVCS, we pride ourselves on providing the key components of an outstanding educational experience and the unique, intangible qualities that set us apart. Parents and students often share that there's a special energy felt upon entering our doors – a sense of openness and warmth that truly embodies our values and culture.
Our small class sizes foster this unique atmosphere, which ensures personalized attention, our highly skilled and experienced faculty, and our innovative, challenging TK–12 curriculum. Above all, it's our mission to equip students for life and leadership that makes the CVCS experience extraordinary.
If you are an international student, please contact the Dr. Heidi Zameni, Director of International Students at hzameni@cvcs.org to schedule a tour or shadow day.
