I've attended several soccer games here to support my brother, and I've had a really positive…read moreexperience with this facility. The building is extremely clean and well-maintained, which I truly appreciate as a visitor. I also love that the league is indoor. It's so nice knowing the kids have a safe, comfortable place to play regardless of the weather. They usually run two games at the same time with a partition dividing the gym, which seems to work well and keeps things organized. Overall, I'm grateful they provide a space like this for youth sports and families to enjoy. Great environment and well run!

This is an absolutely phenomenal school. My two children are going on five years here and we could…read morenot be happier. Before coming to FA we tried homeschooling, public schooling, and another local private school and nothing compares to the quality of FA. The teachers and administration are supportive, caring, kind and qualified. The classroom sizes are small (my daughter's class has 12 students), the academics are challenging and engaging, and there are amazing opportunities for extra curricular activities and growth (for example, my son's class is taking an ecology-focused field trip to Costa Rica for spring break to study leatherback sea turtles). There are wonderful art, music and theatre programs at every level. To top it all off, FA has an indexed tuition program that considers each applicant's financial situation and adjusts tuition requirements accordingly. This makes the school accessible to families that might otherwise find the price tag too high. I can't think of one negative thing to say about this school.

I was blessed to have her as a teacher however ! We went through a lot of book work and very minimal hands on Work . Was told we would work on acrylic and nail designs art etc but it was very brief maybe a few days out of the two months . Did a spa clinic for about two weeks and did manicures gel manicures and pedicures by appointments . The staff there were very rude at times. Our teacher had missed a day during our clinic and our class was not accommodated . We had a snow day and was pushed over two days for our end date. We literally studied for our state board on the last day of class and was rushed due to time and days . I recommend the teacher but the school is unorganized . We were told we didn't have to pay for the state board test prior to signing up and also told again by an actually counsolor. But once we brought it to their attention they changed it and said we had to pay for the test ourselves .

I started to go to J Art in 6th grade. I'm now a senior in college (at my dream school, Rhode…read moreIsland School of Design!) and I can say for a fact that I would not have gotten to this point without J Art. I came here for 6-7 years constantly; I even moved to Florida for a couple years for my mom's job and I visited VA during my breaks just to attend J Art and work on my art. If it matters to the parents reading, J Art also helped me apply to (and win) lots of art competitions that I otherwise would not have known about. I also think the strictness level varies for each student, as every teacher I worked with were talented and kind in their own unique ways. I'll keep my review short but I can say that I'm truly grateful for everything I've learned from here and that I miss it very much! Easily the easiest 5 stars I can give to any establishment. I would give 10 if I could!

I searched for an excellent driving program for my 17-years old daughter, so, that she could get…read moreher driver's license and Access Driving Academy had outstanding reviews. I called and spoke with Paul, the owner, and he took time to explain the process from the required 45-hours of drive-time with me and my husband through to getting her provisional license. We provided Paul with days and times she was available including weekends and our address. The first session was conducted on a Sunday afternoon (thank heavens!) and Paul came, introduced himself and talked with us for about 20-minutes while we took care of paperwork and payment. He then had our daughter get into the driver's seat and they proceeded with the session, which also included picking up other teen drivers. There was no set days and times for the lessons, it was more what worked for our family and Paul's wife, Kinder, who conducted all subsequent sessions. We were so happy with the fluid schedule! Our daughter raved about her experience. After her last session, we talked with Paul's wife as she completed the paperwork to be filed with the DMV and the courthouse, so that we could skip the step of appearing before a judge in order for our daughter to get her license. This was a huge plus! She also issued the provisional license and said that the DMV would mail the actual license in about 90-days. Access Driving Academy made everything easy and seamless. Just remember to be patient with the improvised schedule knowing that Paul and his wife will take care of the details. We highly recommend them!
