Transcript Request

The Transcript Request Form, located on your Admissions Progress page, is to be given to the Director/Registrar of your child's present school and returned along with any academic records. Most preschools will not have student records, but applicants to Grades 1-6 have a permanent record at their present school.

Upon what do you base admissions?

Admission is determined by a thorough assessment of the child's developmental readiness, academic ability, and previous school record. An Admissions Assessment may be administered. Valley School classes are composed of many different types of students who bring their own strengths and gifts to share with us all. Interviews with parents and students help us get to know you.

Do you offer financial assistance?

Valley School offers hundreds of thousands in financial assistance each school year. The cost of a Valley School education can be overwhelming for many families. Financial Assistance is available for those families that need help in covering these costs. Unfortunately, the amount of funds that Valley School has available for tuition assistance is very limited. No student will receive a 100% scholarship. Families MUST re-apply for financial assistance every year by the communicated due date.
