Our Mission
The mission of Valley Charter Schools is to provide a holistic and exceptional education to a diverse student body, cultivating in students intellectual curiosity, collaboration, respect for others, and a passion for excellence.
We are a public independent charter organization founded in 2010 and have two small schools- Valley Charter Elementary with an enrollment of 288 students and Valley Charter Middle School with an enrollment of 300 students. Our community is diverse by design - our students learn in an environment that reflects the rich diversity of the San Fernando Valley and the wider world.
Our Vision
The purpose of Valley Charter Schools is to enable students to become thinking, fulfilled, caring individuals with a sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse society in which we live. We believe all children deserve a meaningful education that helps them to realize potential and discover unique talents and gifts. We believe learning happens best when students work across disciplines, solve new problems, work in teams, take initiative, and take responsible risks. At VCS, teachers, not textbooks, know students best. Our teachers and teacher collaborations drive instruction. We strive to develop and communicate best practices and mentor others as we have been mentored. We believe communities can come together to build great schools where academic excellence is available to all children.
