Bravo! An innovative program that acknowledges these incredibly bright and hard-working children, who, through no fault of their own, have fewer educational opportunities available to them. FNV not only affords foster children the freedom to explore, learn and grow which they so richly deserve, but also continues to support and mentor these children to assure their continued success. A truly unique program.

This program is so important for our community’s foster children because it can forever change the course of their lives. As an advocate for foster children, I am so excited about the opportunities FNV brings them, the much-needed stability it provides, and the doors to their future that will now open up.

Getting the chance to go to a great independent school has definitely been the best thing that has happened to me so far in my life—I still can’t believe how lucky I am! At this school it seems like the teachers really care about you—they really listen and they take the time to break down concepts. Also, there’s no violence on campus. It’s peaceful. You get to meet an interesting variety of people. And the academics that my teachers are giving are outstanding. I love it here, and I’m definitely giving 100% in all my classes.

I don’t know where my life would be if I hadn’t gotten this opportunity to attend such an excellent school. I never had a chance to really learn before because I kept having to go to new schools every time I got placed in another foster home. Now, for the first time, I can actually say my life is good.
