We've got spirit, yes we do!

On Tuesday, students and staff gathered in our lower level Gym for our first pep rally of the year! This spirited event also allowed us to celebrate our student athletes as they begin the fall athletics season.

And to add to the excitement, our 7th Grade Volleyball players also got their first win of the season! Go, Blue Jays!

This morning we celebrated the start of the school year during our annual Opening Ceremony!

Each year, this school-wide gathering allows for our whole community to ring in the start of the 2026–2027 school year. Sounds of singing, laughter, and cheer fill the entire Auditorium as we look ahead to a great year of learning and growing together.

Here's to a fantastic school year!

One of our school's most beloved traditions, the Upper School Overnight, is just around the corner!

During this three-day-long adventure, students enjoy time in the great outdoors. Each year, this excursion allows students to foster friendships, practice their leadership skills, and grow appreciation for the world around them.

Current families: If you have not already, please be sure to hand in your mandatory forms ahead of this year's trip, taking place on September 16th–18th!

25 years ago, our city experienced one of the most tragic events in its history.

Today and always, we honor the lives of the victims and survivors, and continue to express great respect for the first responders who risked their safety to protect us all.

Tomorrow's the big day!

We can't wait to welcome everyone back to West 10th Street tomorrow for the first day of the 2026-2027 school year.

To get excited, we thought we'd share a few photos from last year's first day. See you tomorrow, Blue Jays!

Look who's back!

This week, our entire staff community returned to campus, getting a chance to reconnect, discuss the ways they can collaborate throughout the year, decorate their classrooms, and prepare for the upcoming school year.

We can't wait to see everyone next week! (Can you believe the 2026–2027 school year is just around the corner?)

Oh the places they'll go!

As we approach the upcoming school year, we wanted to express how excited we are for the members of VCS's Class of 2026 as they start their high school journeys this fall. We can't wait to see all that they accomplish!

This year, our alumni were accepted to over 40 competitive independent, public, and boarding high schools within the tri-state area and beyond. Click here to learn more: https://tr.ee/lFMCtO

Can you believe that there are just 30 days until the start of the 2026-2027 school year?

We couldn't get everyone together for this post, so in the meantime we've gotten a bit creative.

See you soon, Blue Jays!

(Huge thanks to VCS parent Isidra V. for the beautiful illustrations featured in this post!)
