Thank you for visiting Valley Charter Schools! We are a public independent charter organization founded in 2010 and have two small schools - Valley Charter Elementary and Valley Charter Middle - both with an enrollment of under 300 students. Our community is intentionally small and diverse by design; our students learn in a warm, supportive environment that reflects the rich diversity of the San Fernando Valley and the wider world.
At VCS, we believe that students learn best when they engage in meaningful and rigorous project-based learning and develop the academic and social-emotional tools to thrive. Our students are effective communicators, collaborators, self-advocates, and life-long learners. When you step into a VCS classroom, you can feel the joy, the connections, and the curiosity!
When students matriculate from VCS, they are well-prepared for their next level of schooling. While test scores are not our only way of measuring our positive impact on students, VCS schools routinely outperform the neighborhood schools our students might otherwise attend on annual state assessments. Our focus on the individual child supports each student’s growth, progress, and achievement.
I invite you to learn more about us and join our community.
