Honestly, Great Valley is a fantastic school with fantastic staff and fantastic kids. Whoever writes anything bad about this school is just simply wrong. I love this school, and would never want to change.

I'm a parent and I have been appalled at how rude and inconsiderate the front desk staff are to the students. They treat the kids as if they are an annoyance and are totally disrespectful to them with their tone of voice. I was waiting in the office for my child one day and five kids came up with questions and they were very short, brusque and demeaning in how they talked to the kids. I could sense the kids leaving their with a sense of humiliation. If the ladies don't like kids so much, why do they work there? These kids are people with feelings and should be treated with the utmost respect and made to feel good about themselves, not like they are scum that needs to scrubbed and trashed. This is a serious problem!

Before moving to Great Valley, I spent hours doing research on all the schools in the Philadelphia area. Great Valley is the best, bar none.

Exceptional education, combined with high standards of conduct, outstanding parental involvement and eminently well-qualified faculty - our sons have benefited greatly from a well-rounded educational experience that includes a vast array of multi-disciplinary learning opportunities.

GVHS provided the best possible secondary school preparation (Class of 1966) for my eventual career as a professional research scientist at a major NASA Lab. It prepared me exceedingly well for college and grad school. Most importantly, when I left GVHS I had learned how to write thanks to a wonderful English teacher--Margaret 'Maggie' McMichael. I can't stress this enough to young students. I hope the modern GVHS keeps the bar as high as our teachers in the '60s did. It was worth all the hard work!

What a excellent place to educate a child. Our sons absolutely love the Middle school and High school. Teachers and staff are knowledgable and interested in students. Our oldest is a Senior this year and has been helped immensely by his counselor with the college search and process. There is a real family atmosphere in both buildings because of their small populations. It is truly like a private academy. The only negative would be the construction. The High School will be a mess for the next few years.
