Success for Victory College was attributed to a complete curriculum review in the past two years, along with a great team, a lot of hard working teachers and students, and support services, said middle college head Terence Dayes,

“We’ve looked at best practice, we’ve reviewed our teaching methodology, reduced our staffing turnover, and developed a curriculum that’s well-targeted to our student body,” he said.
