Verde Valley School educates students for college and for life by encouraging them to become intellectually curious, academically accomplished, and creatively expressive. The program promotes intercultural understanding and world citizenship, environmental stewardship, the value of physical labor, and service to humanity with a willing spirit. Founded in 1948, VVS has from its beginning been dedicated to developing students who are not only accomplished scholars, but citizens of the world, committed to contributing positively to humanity. As an IB World School, our students are given the tools to become active, compassionate, lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
