Get to Know Us

We invite you to get to know the people, programs, and place that make The Valley School unique.

Throughout the year, we open our campus for both informal community events and for admissions events. For our drop-in events, no registration is required. For all other events, please register on Ravenna. For all in-person events, enter our campus through the Family Entrance on East Thomas Street, between 30th and 31st Avenues East.

Campus Tours and Q and A with School Leadership • By appointment

All School Meetings and Optional Tours • Fridays when School is in Session • 8:45 a.m.

Are you hoping to get a sense of the greater Valley community, including our current families? Join us for an All School Meeting!
At these weekly gatherings our community sings together, hears from students about what they are doing in classes, and enjoys short student performances. Some current families attend each week and are happy to talk after the meeting.

There will be optional tours following these meetings. Children are invited, but not required, to attend All School Meetings. Plan to stay until 9:15 for just the meeting or until 10:45 for a tour following the meeting. Email Rebecca Klein to RSVP for an All School Meeting.
