Trips and Visit

Personal Development – Enrichment 

At Venture we believe that one of the most important aspects of education we provide is to give your child the opportunity to experience things outside of the classroom which will help them develop personally as well as academically. Our academy has a rich tradition of providing students with experiences and activities which we believe your child will enjoy and allow them to thrive.
