the GED math program was one of the most intuitive and thoughtful educational programs i've ever been a part of. thanks to my teacher mr. villegas, and my amazing classmates, as well as additional staff members such as ms. mosbaugh and ms. dahlstedt, my family saw me formally graduate with my GED in june. i wouldn't be where i am today without CVACE.

I was really disappointed in this school. There was a lot of unprofessionalism from the main Administration Jaime down to Jason including the Instructors like Ms. Kelly for Medical Assisting. I liked Ms. Wendy that’s why the one star. They have a responsibility uphold to the Students a environment of Respect, Dignity and Integrity and Non-discrimination but fail to do so. They have a sense of entitlement and are not genuine. With Jason he acted immature with me and offensive and even petty as to not help me with my books the first day of school simply because I did not get the titers and wasn’t informed well the process and why it’s so important to have that without properly explaining the process. When Jaime then called me asking if I had them I told her I didn’t yet then I could hear him in the background saying he did as if I was being attacked on the phone. Ever since then he would treat me with attitude and did not treat me with respect or kindness more of a retaliation because of that. To make matters worse I open a email that was not supposed to be addressed to me, but Jaime and the other Instructor about my health condition, which was only temporary, the email the went on to say oh this is the student you talked about. The email was not supposed to be sent to me but I already read it. When I asked her about she went ahead and denied everything that it was because of her daughter why she sent that email. Apologized to me but the damage was done it was apparent to me that they were talking about me behind my back. So to summarize do not go to this school unless you want to be treated badly. They have a nice campus and clean but it’s to bad they don’t hold to their own standards of non-discriminatory practices and behavior and being respectful and kind environment when clearly they are not not to mention how Unprofessional they are.

Good school nice and clean that’s a five stars there also helpful staff, giving 1 star review for the math class needs to be improved by a lot. I’ll suggest anyone trying to learn math or studying for their GED just to get a math book and read it you’ll learn more from there also do YouTube search there’s tons of good teachers there! At the end of the day, I was able to succeed on my end doing that so 100% recommended you do your own research. unless they improved the math program I don’t know.
