Valley Preparatory School

My daughter has been attending this school for 3 years and we absolutely love it. With small class sizes the teachers can really make sure everyone is on the same level and no one left behind. My daughter is above  academically compare to other private schools and public schools. The teachers and staff are great always friendly.

Best school ever. Worth every dollar! My kids have been there for a year and a half now and the amount of education they have received is incomparable, big difference in level of knowledge between them and other kids their age at other school. Their teachers are amazing and the staff as well. Highly recommend!!

Our son has been attending VPS for 6 years now. We absolutely LOVE this school and all of the staff. Our son is light years ahead in his academic studies in comparison to friends and family at public school. The small class sizes and abundant extracurricular programs help him to excel in all of his subjects.

Our son has been attending this school for the past 4 yrs - from Kindergarten. This is an excellent private school with a STEAM, IB education program.  Small class sizes are the single factor that has proven to help kids learn. Valley prep has small class sizes, with an excellent curriculum.  The teachers are very involved in the children - There are no kids who get "left behind". Our family highly recommends this school. After school programs, integrated day care after school, an excellent music program, art, PE, Spanish, French - the list of pros is endless.

It's an amazing school that continues to evolve and get better. Our oldest son (now in college) attended and around 3rd grade decided he wanted to try public school so we moved him for two and half years before he told us that he would like to go back for middle school. We said okay but if he was serious he would need to transfer in the middle of 5th in order to catch up...and he had a lot of catching up to do. He finished middle school and it truly prepared him for high school and beyond. They taught organizational skills from early on (thank you Mrs. Boyle ). Our daughter was a different story, she attended from PreSchool until middle school when we moved her because the school was just too small for her large personality. She learned a lot and was a step ahead because of her science and technology learnings from VPS. All kids are different and you have to know how yours operates so you know if they will thrive in an environment. You definitely don't want to set them up for failure either. However, if you are looking for a school that embraces technology then this is your school! The technology is second to none. Mrs. Willis is a rockstar. It was made apparent, not only by her recent Spirit of the Den (Discovery Educator Network)award, but by the seem less transition from in person teaching to a distant learning approach due to Covid19. Back to the award---it's dedicated to an educator who is committed to learning, sharing, and connecting with other educators. That's what she does...she learns and shares, not only with the kids but with other educators. She made sure everyone could transition. This wasn't done overnight...it's been over several years in the making. During the darkness of the Covid closures, Valley Prep was a shinning example of what distance education should look like.You see, our third child also attends Valley Prep! When all of the schools transitioned to online and when I looked at my college, high schooler, and Valley Prep kids---Valley Prep by far had their act together when it came to resources offered, education provided, technology used, and so much more. The staff has been great. Physical Education with "Ms. Broccoli" makes you tired just thinking about it. Library time with Mrs. Bolanos was a highlight of the day! Spanish, French, Art, and Music....so many teachers on top of the everyday learning that takes place. Was it perfect, no. Was it good, yes! It was last minute and very little prep time but they pulled it together. They regrouped after they took a survey and continued to evolve over the two month period. Given more time, they could probably transition the model and offer online course instruction to those interested in distance learning full-time.  I appreciated the teachers and their commitment during this difficult time and hope to see them all in the Fall. Just waiting to see if that will be in person or via the computer.
