Reid Traditional Schools’ Valley Academy was founded in 1995 as one of Arizona’s first charter schools.
Our years of experience have allowed us to continuously evaluate and refine our curriculum, while always staying true to traditional teaching philosophies. Using test scores, pre/post yearly testing, parent surveys, and faculty/administrative research, we incorporate strategic planning strategies to improve each area of study. Parental input to academic areas is a hallmark of our philosophy. We are educating your children; you should have input into what is being taught. Contact our staff today for more information!
