    “Valley School was a family for me; my classmates were like brothers and sisters. The most valuable lessons I learned were many soft skills: to include everyone, to forgive and forget, to be honest, to share, to be open to the ideas and opinions of others, and to appreciate what I have.”

Children look adults in the eye and greet them when they pass in the hallway. These behavior examples demonstrate how Valley School fosters an environment of responsibility and care.”
