We aren't members of the church and aren't particularly religious but the curriculum (while Christ centered) isn't rammed down your throat. It's a small school with smal classes and all of the faculty seem to genuinely care about the kids and the community. Since the space is so small and their reputation is good, I'd recommend registering as soon as you can. We were wait listed for a short time before availability popped up.

I've said this on google and I'll say it again:…read more This school is falling apart. They can't seem to keep a teacher and the ones that are hired don't know how to teach. It is said that the curriculum is "challenging" but in reality it goes very slow and your child will end up behind later on in life. The hot lunch program is not worth it as the prices are quite high and by the time lunch comes the food isn't hot anymore. This school looks good on paper when it's all lies. Perhaps is nicer for the elementary students but the headmaster is too ambitious and the constant new additions leave the middle school with the bare minimum. You can tell that some teachers actually are there for the kids and it is a shame that amazing people are left with horrible management and lies. Please ask for opinions from parents of students here before sending you kid to this school.

The truth is I am very pleased with the teaching method, the teachers and the director.read more

My kiddos attended VMPS for 3.5 years (age 15 months - 5 years). We were really happy with our time…read morethere and I find myself recommending the school at every chance possible. My family takes education seriously, and at VMPS, my kiddos learned all they needed to get accepted into two prestigious K-12 private schools. We also felt nurtured and learned and practiced all of the fundamentals of good behavior at VMPS. I don't write reviews often, but felt compelled to do so for this school; especially considering the mixed reviews below. I can't speak for everyone's experience, but outside of rare special parent-approved activities once we made it to the pre-K classrooms, I never saw or heard of my kiddos watching television at school. The classrooms do not have televisions in them. And all of our full-time lead teachers had years of teaching experience and I never questioned their qualifications or care. Trust me, I would have said something. We were enrolled in one other preschool before switching to VMPS. Actually, the school referenced positively in another review on this site--that's part of the reason I wanted to respond here. We left that school and enrolled in VMPS after 3 months of substandard care there -- best decision we made for our family. Not one school is perfect for everyone. Over 3.5 years, as an involved parent, I gave plenty of constructive feedback to VMPS. That said, I was always respectfully listened to and often accommodated. Necessary changes (like re-evaluating my kiddos class level) were made promptly and to my satisfaction. My kiddos graduated from VMPS this COVID summer. Although we're no longer there, we think of VMPS often, wish them the best, and hope the school continues to thrive in Fort Mill for years to come.

Truly disappointed that Lisa the owner cares about the business but not about the well being of the kids. We had to unenrolled our son due to back to back incidents with the teachers . Despite the multiple complaints and opportunities that we gave the school they still didn't want to work with us with the unenrolling fee. We were forced to take our son out after many issues and he stating the he didn't want to be in the school anymore. Lisa deleted and added messages in the parents app as she pleased so the rude messages from the teachers will not appear. He was moved to his old class where he felt safe, but this was done after multiple incidents and we lost the trust in the school. One of the teachers in the afternoon class was rude to me and told me to lower my voice , and be quiet when I was telling my son to roll his mat to come outside. As an adult, the tone made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being reprimanded. I can only imagine how a kid will feel if that teacher is talking to them in the same way she did to me. Lisa decided not to work with us and charge the full upcoming month just because we saw it is not safe for our son anymore. How can we keep our son in that environment? Will definitely raise this with best business bureau. Parents be aware the employee turnover is high and that says a lot!

Warning for Parents Considering WGCS As a parent, I feel compelled to share my experience with WGCS…read morein the hope that it helps others make an informed decision. From my perspective, the leadership at the school, particularly the owner, Kyle Boyd, demonstrated a style that felt rigid and, at times, difficult to work with. I felt that communication lacked transparency, and it seemed to me that decisions were often made without considering the well-being of the students and their families. My child entered WGCS as a mild-mannered, enthusiastic student. However, during our time there, I noticed significant changes in his demeanor that concerned me. I also had questions about the academic curriculum. Despite the school's claims of offering an advanced curriculum, in my opinion, it did not meet South Carolina's academic standards. I observed that extra credit was frequently used to raise students' grades, which left me concerned about the consistency and rigor of grading practices. Also, I felt as if communications between teachers and parents were lacking or non-existent; especially in Math. Athletics were another point of concern. While the school promotes its commitment to offering several athletic programs, in my experience, there was no on-site gymnasium, and the off-site facility used did not feel particularly safe or appropriate for school sports (and it is across town). Additionally, I found the handling of my son's attempt to play public school sports troubling. I felt that WGCS staff misrepresented facts in a way that ultimately harmed his opportunity. Thank GOD for AAU sports, which more than prepared him to play next year. What the devil meant for evil, GOD turned it around for his good! Spiritually and culturally, I had hoped for a community that uplifted and embraced Christian values such as honesty, fairness, and love. Unfortunately, I did not feel that those values were consistently demonstrated here. As a parent of a minority child, I also observed what I perceived as a lack of inclusion, particularly in how students were recognized during school awards. In our time at the school, I did not see any minority student receive certain awards that are meant to reflect strong Christian character. It's very difficult for me to write this, and I waited until the end of the school year to do so because I did not want my son to face any retaliation. Due to our negative experience, I cannot recommend WGCS until serious meaningful changes are made.
