Overview
The Bosco Catholic School System, a Pk-12 institution with support from families, we respect, and encourage students to reach their potential Spiritually by developing a strong relationship with Jesus and knowledge of his Church, Academically by learning about and living healthy habits and Socially by becoming active members of the community who serve others as stewards of the Gospel so they are the Light of Christ in the world.
We understand that the decision of where your child will spend so much of their childhood attending school is an important decision.
We invite you to visit Valley Lutheran School and ask questions so that you can capture for yourself a picture of the character and skills Valley strives day in and day out to instill into our students.
Our prayer is that you will see the difference a Christ-centered, academically challenging education will have for your child.
