Our son is in Kindergarten at VPS and truly loves it. We have been very happy with the curriculum and the teacher, principal and staff are top notch and wonderful. Their emphasis is on character building, Godly principles and mentorship. I know alot of happy parents there so I have reason to believe the other grades are doing just as well. We hope to have our son at VPS through his entire elementary education.

My one child currently is attending VPS. My other child has already graduated. We have had a wonderful experience there. The fine art programs are wonderful and adds to the academic programs. The children are taught how to do oral presentations so the fear of public speaking is deminished. Overall, we have been very happy.

My children attend VPS and we are so blessed to have them in a school with teachers and staff who not only educate them, but also who love them and teach them about the love of Christ. The education they receive is well above a public education. Our children are getting a valuable well-rounded education that is rare to find! My children love Valley Pres and look forward to school each day. We love taking them to school and having the confidence that they are safe and loved while at school. I would highly recommend Valley Pres!

My children attend VPS and they love it. We are fairly new to the school in our 2nd year and have found it to be very nuturing, fun, acedemic and overall a good school. The teachers are under paid for what they do as with all christian schools and they still seem to pull it all together quit well. The school lacks a little in parent involvement and it is still a great education to help prepare these students for middle school and high school. I hope we continue to be this blessed in our future here at VPS.

I have children attending Valley Presbyterian School. While academically I feel it is challenging, encouraging the children to form friendships and just be nice to each other, is sadly lacking. This can be very detrimental to a child's self-esteem. This school is very political, climate unfriendly and unwelcoming. I would not recommend this school.

This is my kids' 4th year at VPS. In the beginning, I thought it a great school. Over the years, I've learned that the school is highly political and just not a good fit for my families' lifestyle. VPS is not the best school if both parents are working regular 9-5p. as a working parent, I'm not that involved in daily functions that go on at the school making it close to impossible to form relationships. As I said before, the school is highly political and is just not a good fit when you have two working parents. Academically, I cant say that this school is any better than others. This school places a lot of emphasis on responsibility and discipline. There are hardly any afterschool activities-my kids get bored. Parent involvement is very high though. If I had to do it over, would I enroll my kids? No.

I attended Valley Pres. K-6 grades. This is an excellent school experience for youngsters. Though they are lacking in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, the academics, teachers, and events are vivacious and fun. When you leave your kids at this school, you are leaving them with fun, caring teachers, a safe school ground, and an accepting Christian environment (a rare thing). There is also day care for students whose parents work overtime. I graduated this school well prepared for junior high, and ultimately high school. The school I attend is not an easy school, but the academic backround I received at Valley Pres. preped me for it. This is a wonderful school and I really miss it!

Although I am not a 'parent' of a student at this school, I attended it K-5 grade. Socially it was a great school, but it was not challenging academically. I liked it there because of the music program and chior. When I left to go to Public middle school, I was far behind all other students, especially in math. I suffered in PE. And the middle school I transferred is not even that great of a school. The school is also located across from Monroe High so we had occasional lockdowns but other than that, it is a safe school. The teachers I had were extremely kind and teach very, very well.

This school is outstanding. I have made a commitment to my child that he will remain here through graduation- even though it means I have to drive 100 miles a day!
