If you're looking for a private school education but is not on your budget, VIPHS is an incredible…read moreoption. The school offers small class sizes and a supportive learning environment where teachers truly love what they do. They provide hands-on instruction, genuinely care about their students, and work hard to ensure every student succeeds and is prepared for college. The individualized attention each student receives is exceptional, and their main goal is that no student is left behind. Everyone at the school is welcoming, kind, and dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. My child absolutely LOVES going to school every day, which says a lot. Although VIPHS is a smaller school, students do not miss out on the traditional high school experience. The school goes above and beyond to provide fun activities, events, trips,and opportunities that create lasting memories and a strong sense of community. The only class they do not offer is PE, so it may not be the best fit for students whose primary focus is sports. Other than that, students are not missing out on anything. Thank you to everyone at VIPHS for the amazing work you do and for creating such a caring, supportive, and successful learning environment!

This has to be the worst middle school, or school, ever, in the history of schools! The academic…read moreprogram is not in any shape or form, challenging to my child. Where did this concept of "no homework" for students come from?? This school is for the slow and lazy. It make sense cause their teaching staff are likewise, the same. Children are left in front of the school lolly gagging every morning because the gate is rarely ever open on time. Most of the staff are two faced and will tell you what you want to hear to pacify a concerned parent. They are mostly very unprofessional, tactless and really quite ignorant in comparison to the general public. DO NOT send your children to this school unless you just don't care about their future.

Today my mom whose been a local vendor of snacks outside ACROSSED the street from the middle school…read morewas kicked out by the school police based on a request from the racist principle MRS. HAMILTON who's also a person of color. When I went to ask about what was the reason that she called the cops on my mom whose business is not on school property nor does it affect her. She replied in a very condescending way explaining she didn't called anyone. Yet my mom has her on video thanking the cops while asking her to move. It's truly disgusting that a person of color would go out of their way to attack a vendor who's again not affecting her school operations whatsoever. My mom has been a vendor for two years, all parents including students love her and know her personally. But for whatever reason MRS. Hamilton decided to make her a target. She's not only a to she is a liar, who is trying to use her power to be racist towards people are only trying to survive. She's a lier. Maybe she should direct all that rage to the school and their lack of control of students. If your son attends to school, I suggest you think about it twice about the person who is responsible for educating them and installing values. Miss Hamilton, you know who I am and you know you were wrong. If you have some type of dignity, I suggest you realize your behavior and you take a step back and you apologize because I will go to the end of earth to make justice and deflate the power that you think that you possess..

Horrible school, please don't bring your kids here…read more I went to this school all 3 years, and it has to be one of the worse experiences of my life. The staff are very careless and rude. They have a strong bias against people who were not the "average" student. A specific teacher tried to fail me multiple times as well. When confronted, she would say that it was purely unintentional, even though it happened on every single report card I was given. This school is also very dangerous and the administrators do nothing to change that. At my time here, certain kids brought weapons to school and I heard about how they threatened people with it. Kids also smoked in the bathrooms all the time and when staff saw it, they would ignore it completely as if it's normal. I was also bullied multiple times at this school all 3 years in front of teachers and they did nothing to stop it because they believed that I could solve the issues myself. I was threatened, stalked, etc. They cannot control kids that are obviously hurting other kids and believe that it is conditioning the kids to the world. They stole my things, spread rumors about me, and would harass me. When their teachers would see this happening, they would brush it off and would say that I am the problem instead. Overall, please go to any other school if you can. The kids here will treat you horribly if you are even slightly different. I felt as if 3 years of my life were wasted and I gained nothing from going here.

My daughter, an alumni, and now my graduate, have both been blessed by the supportive and caring environment here.

It's bittersweet to say goodbye, but we leave proud and grateful for the strong foundation this school has given our family. Thank you, Saint Joseph the Worker, for everything!

TMS provided a nurturing haven during the middle school years which has made my kids more resilient, better citizens of the world, and confident advocates for themselves and for others. Here are some of the experiences my boys had: - going on at least three one-week camping trips each year - learning to cook for themselves and to shop for their camping group on a budget - taking elective classes in pottery, archery, swimming, fencing, and aerial silks - composing and performing original songs during the music trimester - practicing public speaking in a variety of formats, from in-class debates to presentations to full-length plays - sitting in "council" and honoring the feelings and values of their classmates, even whey disagreed with them - burning off energy by playing soccer, basketball, and "mushroom tag" after lunch each day - exploring DTLA via public transportation - evaluating what constitutes a reliable source in traditional media and on social media - gaining an appreciation for nature through weekly hikes - feeling they had an actual relationship with their teachers (with whom they continue to stay in contact) - mastering the five-paragraph academic essay - working in small groups at a pace that was appropriate to their skill level, especially in math - graduating with a strong sense of self Sending my sons to TMS is one of the best investments I have made in their education and their personal growth. The only caveat I would offer is that, due to its small size and flexible curriculum, TMS tends to have more last-minute changes than a traditional school. There is no such thing as a "typical" week at TMS; the teachers may adjust the day's schedule if an issue arises and they feel the kids need to process events in the news or resolve interpersonal conflicts which impact the entire group. I f this to be a virtue, but if you are expecting rigid consistency, it's best to look to a more traditional school.

TMS has been a gift to our son and our family! Middle school can be difficult and distressing for…read moremany kids, but every morning my son wakes up excited to go to school. I've talked to other parents, and the sentiment is the same: kids love TMS! TMS is a mixture of appropriately challenging academics (with some room for individualization because the school is small), social-emotional development, the arts, and outdoor education. The school goes on four trips a year, and I love how the curriculum is integrated into the trips. For example, last year, they read a book that took place at a Japanese internment camp during WWII, and then they visited the actual camp during one of their trips. Also, there is a focus on making the learning applicable to the "real world." For some of the trips, kids are divided into groups, given a food budget, and work together to plan their meals and buy food. There is also a great community feeling amongst the parents at TMS. There is also a culture of kindness and acceptance at TMS. All-in-all, I am confident that my son will emerge from his middle school experience self-confident, ready for high school, and equipped to make the world a better place!

The staff and everyone in faculty is genuine and each one cares deeply for their students. Not only they are strong academically but they show God's love in their daily interaction, teaching the students what it truly means to be a Christian and the good news of the Gospel. For what they offer, they should be priced as one of the highest but the leadership is not about that which says a lot. If you are considering the school, don't even think twice! Sign up and thank the Lord for this fine Christian establishment and the leadership and all the staff.
