Academy Thrives Near Somers
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

I’m a parent of one of the kids at FVMA, and simply can not adequately express how much of a difference the school has made for our child.  I’d like to say thank you to Jeff and Stephanie for their Herculean efforts in getting the school up and running, and making such a difference in the lives of these kids.  Our child is simply a changed person; happy, content, and learning more, more rapidly, in educational and other ways, than we could ever have hoped from the public system.

I would encourage the parents of the valley to strongly consider FVMA.  It is an education that is not available in public school, preparing these kids for success in life in a rapidly changing world.

FVMA is an incredible institution, and the Pernells amazing people.

Our son attended FVMA last year (the school’s pilot year) and it was definitely a positive experience. He learned a great deal academically and personally, and successfully transitioned to public high school. Jeff and Stephanie Pernell are gifted educators and highly skilled at connecting with early adolescents.
