About Valley View School

Valley View School is a small, private therapeutic boarding school serving boys in grades 6-12. We are a therapeutic community fostering the growth of our students through a well-developed, integrative program where supportive interventions and high expectations are balanced to create a structured and supportive learning environment. It is where our students are taught to learn self-control and anger management, to create and cultivate relationships with peers and adults, to develop compassion, empathy and respect for others and to realize their true potential. Our overall program consists of a comprehensive blend of Therapy, Academics, Athletics, Arts and Activities challenging our students emotionally, intellectually and physically. Our students are between the ages of 10-15 upon enrollment and may have a history clinically identified as Anxiety, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and School Phobias, which may be created by life experiences such as adoption, divorce, early attachment issues and frustration with family, peers and school. Our experienced clinical staff consists of licensed Ph.D. Clinical Psychologists, a Board Certified Child Psychiatrist and Master's level Clinicians. Our therapeutic approach is based on a student's individual needs. Valley View students participate in a full, challenging academic school day with a state recognized college-prep curriculum. Eleven full-time teachers provide a supportive learning environment that includes small class sizes, individual attention, and supplemental tutoring. Each student has the opportunity to compete at appropriate levels in multiple sports. We offer an active arts program, wilderness adventure, work ethic program, weekly clubs and weekly community service projects. Our mission is to create a stable, consistent and structured environment (milieu) where the total impact of the experience upon a boy contributes to his becoming the best possible version of himself.
