At Deer Valley We Believe: *All children can learn.

*Self-esteem is fostered in children through respect, encouragement, and a spirit of community and cooperation. *A school should provide a loving, nurturing, safe environment where learning is celebrated. *A school should help children become independent, confident, self-directed learners and encourage curiosity and risktaking. *Each student is a valued individual with special talents, abilities, and needs that should be met with a variety of individualized programs that are challenging, engaging, and meaningful. *A school should instill an appreciation and respect for all individuals through character development and good citizenship. *An open line of communication between students, parents, and the school is vital to each child's education.
