Palm Valley is a wonderful school! I am a graduate and now my son attends, with my daughter joining next year. From personal experience I know the academics and college preparation are unparalleled in the Coachella Valley. When I started college I was more than prepared to excel my freshman year.
The small school atmosphere requires you to foster relationships with a diverse group of classmates that you may not otherwise. I still speak to and see my classmates regularly and see them as family. As children our families bonded, we attended each others milestones (like graduations from undergraduate, graduate and medical school) and now we are still a part of each others lives as we have started our own families.
The teachers that really impacted my life as a student are still teaching there today and it brings me so much joy that one day my children can be taught by them too!

A school community that reflects the progress, international and diverse Coachella Valley community members. This school focuses on the success of your individual child while demonstrating an inclusive culture within student, staff and parent relational experiences. I cannot say enough about the caring, unique and loving staff. The leadership at all levels of governance take pride in their professional role as wells as create, positive, fun, social opportunities for school spirit within the parent, student and staff communities. A rare and beautiful opportunity for your family to have your child be recognized throughout their educational experience while enjoying the participation and volunteer process as well as a parent. This is the school you want for your child.
We are celebrating our 13th year at PVS. Palm Valley is the school where your child will be supported and celebrated to be the very best version of exactly who they are. Each child is challenged academically, help accountable for being socially responsible citizens, celebrated for being community-minded and taught the skills to be successful in all areas of their lives. Palm Valley contains many schools within the school so that each student is educated with the highest standards whether they are in the preschool department, lower school, middle school or upper school. At the same time, many opportunities are created for students and families to know one another across different divisions to support one another. The families at Palm Valley along with the faculty, administration, and staff work together to create the Firebird spirit that supports these young people as they grow up. We feel so fortunate to have our children at the very best school available in ALL of California.
