Valley Prep is an excellent school for parents who are looking for small class sizes that enables a student to get individual attention, technology advances such as there laptop program, and variety of programs they offer like art, music, and foreign language (french and spanish). The teachers are extremely attentive to your student's education and teach in a creative way so the students are able to grasp the concept of the subject. They are also very friendly and easy to talk to. One can easily see the students'' eagerness to learn and progress in their education, participation in class and inspiration they gain from their teachers which is proof that Valley Prep is a high quality school that cares for their students future. It is said that Valley Prep is like a second home. I have graduated from Valley Prep and I strongly believe this school prepared me for the rigorous education in high school and has opened up opportunities for me to go to a prestige high school such as the Webb Schools.

Valley Prep has been an outstanding school over the past several years for our daughter. The school offers so many wonderful programs that is not offered in the public school system. With the small classroom sizes and the wonderful teachers, this school was an ideal fit for our daughter and her potential. She loves to come to school every single day and can't wait to tell us about the experiences and classes that she had at school that day. Valley Prep has made her educational experience such a wonderful one and it has allowed her to be the student that she wants to become. We would not send our daughter to any other school as Valley Prep has become her second home.

I attended VPS when I was in 7th and 8th grade. I had the most fortunate opportunity to work with exceptional professors. They took a particular interest in me and making sure I would succeed. Being at VPS at such a young age helped me develop critical thinking skills and emphasize them throughout the rest of my education. In terms of sports and extracurricular activities, I took advantage of the year round sports including volleyball and basketball. In music class I first picked up the guitar, and I had continued to explore my own artistic abilities in our art class. I recall all of these memories fondly. Today, I am in medical school on the way to my dreams of becoming a doctor. Without VPS I would not have been the person that I am today and would not have made it as far as I have. I would highly recommend this school to those who are interested in making their children leaders in their own community or leaders in our world.
