Join the VAIS Family!!

 

The Verona Area International School (VAIS) is a public charter school offering free half-day Chinese-language immersion instruction for K-5 students. 

VAIS' mission is to provide students the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to be global citizens. Our curriculum is international and not limited to a China-based influence. We blend the best educational practices of the East and the West, in terms of language, culture, and teaching methods. Our unique approach helps VAIS students to move fluidly between different cultures, languages, customs, and educational philosophies as part of their school experience.

What's New:

 

Like other VASD students, our students take part in required assessments. Test results demonstrate VAIS students excel in Math, English Language Arts, Science and Social Studies. The below charts show that VAIS students out-perform all other elementary school students in the district in English as well as Science and Social Studies, even while learning content in Chinese! Additionally, our students scored the second highest in math of all elementary schools. Immersion works! Our students are thriving!
