Testimonial

When I started my classes at VAS, I had no idea how to pursue my goals. Along the way, my instructors helped me a lot with encouraging words, kindness, and through teaching from the heart. When I went to the front office for help, someone was always there with a smile. In fact, everyone at VAS is amazing –staff, instructors, advisors, counselors, maintenance and security guards are always willing to help with a humble and friendly attitude. When I asked the CTE Coordinator for help, she gave me crucial advice on how to reach my goal of obtaining my Accounting and Bookkeeping certificate. Now that I am completing my Pathway, I plan to attend Palomar College in the Fall 2019.
Honestly, I am very blessed to be able to attend this school and to know these amazing people, who literally, changed my life with their smiles, friendly attitude, experiences, and belief in me. I want to thank every one of them for their time, effort, and sacrifice that they invested in my life. Thank you so very much; words are not enough.
