Why students ♥ Verde Valley School

Verde Valley is a high school in the US that challenges students to fulfill their potential in every area: academics, sports, service, the arts, and by stressing competition with oneself rather than with others. The school campus is surrounded  on three sides by national forest land and offers perfect surroundings for year-round outdoor activities, including  horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, soccer, golf, basketball, trail and cross-country running. Verde Valley School was featured in 2016 as one of the “50 Best Boarding Schools in the U.S.”
