Valley Charter Elementary and Valley Charter Middle Schools enable students to become thinking, fulfilled, caring individuals with sensitivity to, and understanding of, the diverse environment and society in which we live. We believe all children deserve a meaningful education that realizes their potential and by which students discover their own unique talents and gifts. We believe learning happens best when students work across disciplines, solve new problems, work in teams, take initiative, and responsible risks. At Valley Charter Schools, teachers, not textbooks, know students best; therefore our collaborative teachers drive instruction. We believe communities CAN come together to build great schools where academic excellence is available to all children.
What makes Valley Charter Schools Special?

“I imagined a great school, but I never dreamed that VCS would also become an extension of our family, our values, our lives.”
