Who attends VES?

At VES, your friends will be from all over the country as well as the world! Our students represent eleven different states and eight foreign countries. Our small student body allows us to maintain a tight-knit community of familiar faces. You'll appreciate our small size in more ways than one. We maintain an average class size of 10-12 students, and the overall student-to-teacher ratio is 5:1. More than two-thirds of our students live on campus.

Both in and out of the classroom, you'll get to know almost everyone at VES--other students, teachers and their families. Of the 40 faculty members at VES, 70% live on campus with their families, who share not only class time but mealtime and free time with students. We are all a part creating this safe and loving community where students thrive.
