Historique

Fondé en 1996.

Mrs. P and Mrs. S (the co-​founders of MVA) each have two boys and had discussed home schooling their children for several years.

They wanted them to love school, to enjoy learning, make good friends and not to be scared when they went out onto the playground. With a $ 20,000 loan and a leap of faith, they opened the doors to MVA with their three youngest children being the first to register.
