I am overwhelmingly pleased with the education my 4 year old has been receiving from Roanoke Valley…read moreMontessori School. She has been going to this school since she was 1. At the age of 1 she was diagnosed with a speech impediment. Me and my husband felt she had a learning disability. We were referred from a physician friend to Roanoke Valley Montessori for our daughter. This has been the Greatest gift for our daughter. We were assured by the Director that our daughter did not have a learning disability. The speech impediment is gone. Our daughter has been thriving since being at Roanoke Valley Montessori School. After seeing her pediatrician, she agrees our daughter has thrived being at this school. I cannot say enough about the cleanliness of this school either, it is absolutely immaculate in cleanliness, it is so clean you can smell the clean. Thank you to all of the teachers and the Director Ms Michele for allowing our daughter a place in your school. We are forever eternally grateful.

I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at Roanoke Valley Children's Academy…read more They have been excellent communicator's and Are always attentive to my son and even me! It breaks my heart to see some of the negative reviews on here, because This simply has not been our experience. I think many of the concerns from others are simply a difference in one's beliefs and opinions. You have a choice where to send your child, and if you don't like the care that they are receiving, you can leave. I personally Would recommend this daycare/school to anyone who asked me. My son is thriving and so excited to see the people there!

Our daughter has been attending dance classes at LWSD for about ten years, and we couldn't be more…read morehappy with the environment and the teacher, Ms. Elisabeth. Our daughter attends ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, pointe and Zumba classes and competes on their dance team. She says "Dance is my life" and I think she feels that way because of the warm and welcoming environment of this dance school. I highly recommend Linda Watkins School of Dance.

Nothing compares to the compassion and loving atmosphere that Ms.Elizabeth has bestowed on her students. Ms. Elizabeth is a fantastic instructor being a dancer herself for many years. My granddaughter does tap,ballet,lyrical,jazz and pointe. Everyone there is so welcoming and helpful regardless of their dancing ability. We are very glad we joined LWSD. It's not only a great dancing experience for her but it's a Joy seeing her come home tired but excited. One of the highlights of my year is the Recital and seeing all their hard work become a reality.

During the busy and stressful months leading up to the wedding the lessons were something we could count on to be fun, and they really helped relieve some stress. She also taught us some other dance styles during our lessons that helped us to feel more comfortable on the dance floor (neither of us are natural dancers). She was always patient, kind, and professional! Thank you Victoria!

Great place to learn to dance. If you come here ask for joanne, she is an amazing teacher.read more

We visited Virginia Tech while we were doing a bunch of campus tours while we were in the area…read more Virginia Tech was beautiful real like a football field. I like all the structure is the buildings environment. Everything was really an excellent experience.

Virginia Tech is a lovely campus to visit in the summer. My teenage sons (16 yrs., 14 yrs), wife,…read moreand I came on a Saturday morning for an 11:30am tour. First, you will park at the main entrance to Lane Stadium. After a 30 minute information session (which is well-organized), you'll be divided into smaller groups for a 60-minute walking tour to see the interior of a campus building and walk in the residential dormitory area. The campus tour is full of useful information and you'll get a chance to see the interior of a building (but you'll be walking more than 1 mile outside so comfortable walking shoes are a must). Our tour guide walked backwards for much of the tour (which seemed awkward at times). By the end of the tour, you get a sense of how large the campus is (more than 30,000 students) and the Hokie spirit (which values service toward others). Overall, I would recommend the campus tour if you are considering to apply here. The pretty rural location and physical buildings on campus are worth seeing before you commit to applying. One thing that surprised me is that high school students are strongly encouraged to declare their major and college before arriving. Also, the "Hokie spirit" is pervasive on campus, which may be fun for some. The branding logo of Virginia Tech is impressive and appears everywhere from road signs to clothing. I am sure that you will reach your 10,000 step walking goal for the day if you do the tour.
