"My 3 students have been attending GVA for 4 years, WOW. This program is amazing and we feel very lucky to have the opportunity to give our children different avenues to learn. In response to the previous campus regarding communication, agreed but the Kinder and 1st grade campus is def. more in synch than the upper campus. Wish we could bring the team from East to West. Great PTO and parent participation. Overall love the school and wouldn't change for the world."

"My student has been attending GVA for 3 years and I keep thinking that it will get better organized but so far NOT. The lack of communication from the Admin really needs work. The teachers are GREAT! But I find that the left hand doesn t know what the right hand is doing. As for the language my child is able to speak, read, and write very well in Chinese. The teachers are willing to go the extra mile to help the students out. So for that I want to give an above average grade but in order to make it great we need to be organized."

"Classroom instruction in Chinese is fantastic! Teachers are caring and kid-focused. My kindergartener can converse with teachers from other classrooms and has impressed numerous other native speakers in other venues. Math instruction is accelerated with 2-digit addition w/o carrying and single digit subtraction by January of kindergarten. Cannot disagree with the reports of chaos - the K-2 building is not designed to be a school and to encourage parental communication they allow parents in the building both before and after school so the negative is canceled by the positive in my book. The principal (also bilingual) is responsive when issues arise. Staff (some bi-lingual) are dedicated and truly want to be there. Parental participation in our classroom is very strong. The school has only been open 4 years and has probably grown a little faster than they should have, in hind sight. Our pediatrician was enthusiastic about my son's enrollment: second language instruction has research to support the positive impact on increased brain development. With the global economy we are watching birthed right now, who wouldn't want to prepare their child to be successful in it ??"

"I love love love this school, this is my first year in GVA, my daughter goes to Kindergarden French she already knows how to count to 1 -30 in french, she knows between 4 to 5 songs in french, she knows her abc's in french parts of the body and she is always trying to teach me french this is a great school, the staff is super friendly and helpful especially Cinthia at the front desk, Dennises' teacher is super involved with the kids and very sweet with them, I will DEFITNELY going to enroll my child in first grade the next year. About the issues that the school have let's remember that it is a charter school and does not have the same financial support as a public school, but I'm a witness that the school is working super hard in getting the financial support by raising money for the benfits of our children, also as a Room Parent I'm extremely sad with the lack of parental involvement, so let's face the situation the problem is not the school is the lack of parental involvement a lot of parents do not want to do their VOLUNTEERING HOURS always making excuses for not doing them. We have a wonderful gift for giving our children the opportunity to learn a new language for free."
