At Gardner Valley School, we provide a safe, family atmosphere that cultivates well-rounded learners and leaders. GVS supports the individual educational needs of each child, including educationally diverse learners. We overcome barriers posed by poverty, rural isolation, and socioemotional challenges.

Through a caring and dedicated small-school setting we offer real life, hands-on learning with agricultural and environmental opportunities, and honor local traditions.
