Both the classroom portion and the sailing part were thorough and safe. He was patient and funny and that helped her overcome her fears. The owner, Robin, is kind and helpful. Everyone who was there at their sailing club was nice and also seemed like a lot of fun! No snobby sailing club here! We wanted to stay to crew the Wednesday night race with them, but had to get home. Next time! Definitely a 5 Star school. We can't stop talking about it, and are already planning to take the next classes! Thank you, Robin and Errol, for an awesome experience! You have converted two new sailors!

An outstanding school to learn how to sail!…read more I had always dreamed of learning to sail but it took effort to find the time, commitment and a place where I could learn. Finally took the ASA 101 5 day keel boat sailing class here and it was hard, intense but absolutely tremendous: long story short, a few weeks later I joined a community boating program back home, passed the sailing test there in a jiffy and then took out a sailboat by myself, spending 4 amazing hours sailing along Spot Pond in Melrose, MA. I've tried a few sailing classes before this one but they were too short, not thorough enough and there's no way I could have taken a boat out alone after those. International Sailing School was the only one that worked. For that I have to thank my instructors Allen and Francis for their patience and for getting the points across to me. One word of caution if you plan to take this class: there are lots of places that will take you on sailboat rides around gorgeous Lake Champlain but this isn't one of them. It's a real class and you'll need to study and come well prepared before your very first class. Robin will mail you the "Sailing Made Easy" book before the class. Learn the terms very well because you won't have time to think twice on the water when your instructor tells you to head up, pull in the main sheet and go close hauled. Also look carefully at the points of sail, practice figuring out where the wind is blowing from and rehearse the movements you'll need to make when tacking or gybing. This was really an amazing place to learn to sail and I couldn't be happier at my luck in finding International Sailing School.

Outstanding! Our…read moreson (who is 6-1/2 years old) has taken multiple classes from Davis Studio, and he loves it. It's fun, engaging, and the teachers interact personally with him, taking great stock in his overall experience there. Plus, after each camp he attends (and he's attended several), he grows by leaps and bounds artistically. And that's just not in what he creates. It's also by his enhanced understanding and appreciation of art. We love it when he shares with us what he's learned in class, whether it's about Matisse, or a certain painting technique. In our family, we view art not just as an end until itself, but also as a means of expression and interpreting/helping shape the world us. We feel that Davis Studio furthers that view. His classes have been taught by a variety of teachers at Davis Studio, and we've been impressed by the consistently high caliber of staff. We strongly recommend Davis Studio.

I have flown with a few CFI's over the past few months and each one is extremely professional, flexible, patient, and you always feel safe with them. Not only do they help you develop your understanding of the weather, proper aeronautical decision making, and flight planning, but they spend the time with you to answer questions thoroughly. When I was looking at options to pursue aviation I looked at various programs around New England and I couldn't be happier that I chose VFA. Their planes are great and Burlington is a beautiful place to learn to fly. Going there is one of the highlights of my week.
