Venture Academy Family of Schools (VAFS) holds a fundamental belief that individuals learn best in an environment that nurtures creativity and curiosity, expanding understanding of the world through observation, questioning, and testing of theories. A powerful learning environment is one in which students, with the assistance of caring adults, have options in how, when, and where they learn. The learning environment is physically and emotionally safe; the teacher is compassionate, supportive, and trusted; and the curriculum is appropriate, relevant, and intellectually stimulating. Within VAFS, these conditions are met in a variety of educational settings called academies which meet individual needs and interests of the students.

At VAFS, students have opportunities to individualize their instruction based on their ability levels and personal interest, through a wide variety of school offerings. Teachers, parents, and students work to adjust the individualized plan as needed to ensure progress toward meeting educational goals. Using a variety of authentic assessment methods and standardized tests, students are evaluated to determine levels of competency and to measure progress.
