As an afterschool teacher for G2, I see how the children are learning from their regular teachers. The school is small and provides all the help a child needs to read and write at the appropriate age. I am very impressed with Principal Ariarte.

Van Ness is a great school that deeply cares about the education and well being of its students. All teachers are highly involved in the well being of all its students. The principal is one of the best. She puts students first and is highly active in increasing scores and providing the best education for the students

What an amazing transformation has taken place at this school. My children feel safe as it is organized and everyone feels welcome. They run an outstanding after school program. They practice an open door policy. I am so pleased to have my kids here.

My child attended this school from the first grade until the fifth. I'd have to say that the teachers here are great. They are always doing their best to help the kids and parents with any questions you may have. The have a good music teacher but there aren't many other extracurricular activities.
