Valley Charter Middle School Information Session and Tour

Middle school can be amazing—let us show you how! Tuesday, November 17 and Tuesday, December 1 at 9:30 a.m.

Do you believe that children learn best when they are asked to solve real world problems? Do you believe that the leaders of tomorrow need to learn how to work collaboratively, and think critically about important issues? Do you believe that children succeed in school when caring teachers, who take the time to get to know every student, work together with parents? So do we. We are Valley Charter Middle School, a tuition-free, public charter school located in Van Nuys.

Students at our school thrive in a project-based classroom, where the needs of the whole child—academic, social, and emotional—are addressed in a setting that is both nurturing and challenging. Our small class sizes of 32 students (far lower than the average for LAUSD), along with teaching assistants in every class, set our school apart from traditional public schools. We value a strong academic program, a strong, diverse community, and creative, engaging teachers who truly love middle school students.

If you are considering where to send your child for middle school, we invite you to come see what makes us stand out.
