“QV is a family. The teachers are always eager to help at a moment’s notice and are very kindhearted and professional. I felt safe and at home when I was there as a student. With all of the trades available, the possibilities are endless. After the best four years of my life, with the help of all of my wonderful teachers, I became a skilled, outspoken, confident individual and a leader. QV made me into a hardworking young man, ready for whatever life throws at me.” – Khiran Samsundar, Class of 2013
