We believe that the best learning is deeply rooted in the spirit of joy. That’s why Valley School students learn and grow in a challenging and supportive environment that pushes them to discover and develop their talents and emboldens them to pursue their passions. Wherever they flourish—at a desk, behind a microscope, up on stage, beside the stream, on the playing field, or in front of an easel—Valley School students learn to love thinking creatively and critically.

Since every child is unique, exceptional education will look a little different for each of them. Understanding that learning styles vary widely, Valley School has invested in flexible learning spaces designed to support the best pedagogical practices for teaching content to diverse minds. Our classrooms feature mobile furniture and discussion-oriented layouts to foster crucial 21st-century skills like collaboration, information synthesis, complex problem solving, and effective communication. Children who thrive on quiet downtime can nestle in to sofas, pillow nooks, and window seats to work on independent projects, listen, think, and read. Of course, the outdoors is a favorite learning atmosphere for many students, and an average Valley School day provides several opportunities to play, explore, and learn in the fresh air.

Valley School’s stunning campus and newly-modernized classrooms are only the beginning. Our students enjoy exceptional academic curricula, arts and athletics, and signature programs that combine to create a contextualized and interdisciplinary education.  At Valley School, children become well-rounded, curious, passionate, and confident people who experience lifelong learning as joy.
