Message from the Principal:

VAMS Logo Redesign

The updated VAMS logo honors our original design with the rising sun and pathway—symbols of growth, learning, and success. New elements include the hills and valleys of the Driftless Region, reflecting our connection to place and the unique journey of each learner.

Incorporating the “VAMS” acronym strengthens school identity, while the black and orange color palette aligns us visually with the Viroqua Area School District, proudly reinforcing our role as a Public Charter School. The updated logo allows for a more seamless application in marketing and promotional material. This refreshed look blends tradition with progress and celebrates our Montessori values in a vibrant, modern way.

Let us know what you think of our new logo.

Pat Olbert, Principal
