My child with special needs is attending Valley as an implant. This is our third year. We have been welcomed by staff and they have collaborated and he has been more successful than I could have dreamed. The enriching environment and dedication by staff has made my child's experience nothing but a success. In addition, the coaches at the school have been nothing short of dedicated and amazing. Allowing space for all children to participate and grow. Acceptance, love, grace and collaboration! I cannot recommend this school enough! I'm also involved in the Boosters and love the opportunities I have to volunteer my time and efforts to support the school and my child's education. If you are looking for a positive, collaborative education give Valley an opportunity to work for your family!

My son started kindergarten here and is now going in first grade. Everyone from 12 grade, down, know each other. All the kids help each other and are like family. The teachers enforce respect and manners. Academically, my son has reached levels I never thought he could yet at this age. You need to send your kids here!

This school is fantastic. The faculty and staff always put the best interest of the student first. They start with and end with the Gospel of Jesus Christ that all are sinners needing forgiveness of their sins. Building on the Biblical standard of God's free Grace they impart knowledge through excellent teaching and example. My three children attended Valley and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Good job and kudos to all the teachers and staff at Valley. Christ's Spirit shines.

This school continues to grow both in student body and in quality of education. 2012 offered many firsts. This year the school added K-5 to its facility. It also began offering Calculus and AP World History and AP English to its already excellent academic choices.
