Val Vista Academy | Preschool, Elementary School, and Middle School | Ball Charter Schools 4120 South Val Vista Drive, Gilbert, AZ 85297

"Our two daughters go to VVA. We absolutely love this school. Our youngest is in Kindergarten Prep and she loves her teacher Mrs. Smith. Our oldest started last year in Kindergarten with Ms. Risinger and this year with Mrs. Smith in first, both are phenomenal. This is a small intimate environment where the teachers know us by name and our kids whether they are in their class or not. The principle knew both our children’s name on day 1. This school and the members of the staff are incredible. They put our children’s education and experience first. Even during this COVID craziness they put their learning and safety as #1. We moved from California where this experience would have cost an arm and a leg, and we get it here for free with our taxes. We feel very lucky."

"Val Vista Academy has been a Godsend for our family. Our daughters first year in kindergarten has shown us how invested the teachers, staff, and principal are in their students. She loves going to School.... so much so that she won’t stop asking me when she gets to go back from summer. I’m so grateful for everyone there and all they’ve instilled in my child!"

"We have been at VVA for over 6 years now and we are very happy here. I have 3 kids, one starting in middle school, one going into 4th, and one going into 2nd. We have had such a great experience with teachers at this school. I love that VVA is a small school, this past year my older daughter had the opportunity to play on sports teams in both volleyball and basketball, without any prior experience. At a larger school she would not have had the same opporunity. The teachers at VVA go above and beyond to make learning fun and they show so much care for my kids. I send them off each day knowing that they will be loved and cared for while they are at school."

"We love VVA! The teachers truly care about the students, and are excellent communicators with the parents. Reasonably priced before and after school care has been incredibly helpful for our family. My children are getting high level test scores on their assessment and state tests, so that tells me that the teachers know what they are doing. I highly recommend Val Vista Academy!"

"100% satisfied!!! In Val Vista Academy's first year, they have done nothing but helped my son excel academically and aided him with the confidence to work hard and never give up. He absolutely loves his classmates and the staff he comes in contact with. Whenever there is a question it is answered immediately. I love that you see the principal on the campus always interacting with the children and the teachers. We just celebrated the Kindergarten Promotion Ceremony and it was themed. The children had a blast and they were so proud of their accomplishments. Confidence is key to success and it is being planted in these students at Val Vista Academy. I work in Early Childhood Education, just as doctors are the most difficult to diagnose, teachers are just as nit picky their children's learning environments. Ms. Risinger has been absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better introduction to my son's education career. We are forever grateful! It is worth the 20 minute drive from our home as we plan on sticking here for the elementary years to come!"
