Elementary School
Developing students into life-long learners
At Valley Catholic Elementary School, we are a faith-filled community that is joyfully living out our Catholic values while educating the whole child — spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade, our curriculum includes the Catholic faith, language arts, math, science, social studies, music, health, physical education, library, and Spanish.
Students are inspired to be lifelong learners and compassionate leaders who uphold high academic and social standards. Our team of more than 30 dedicated faculty and staff bring an average of more than 10 years of experience, with 75% of them holding advanced degrees. Our teachers work in partnership with families, the child’s first educators, to create a nurturing and dynamic learning environment.
By being present, building trust, and embracing the process, we help each child grow in faith, knowledge, and confidence, laying a strong foundation for success at Valley Catholic Middle and High School and beyond.
