Testimonials

Yetter Family

“We started our son in kindergarten in the traditional school system. By the end of the year, we had serious concerns about where his education was heading and how it was being conducted. We started looking for a better way and found Alpine Valley. Alpine Valley treats him like a person, not a test score.”

Carpenter Family

“Driving my daughter home from school one day we talked about what she did and who she played with. At one point she mentioned that she wrote up a classmate trying to tell her what to do and she said she wrote them up because 'I am not a puppet, I am a person.' And that sentiment sums up the bulk of what Alpine Valley School gives our child; choice, self-advocacy and empowerment. There are many, many reasons why we chose AVS but they all root back to that idea of trusting your child and their education up to their discretion. We are so thankful to our school community and would be lost without them.”

Curtis Family

“In light of our current political and social climate, we have greatly appreciated the practical education our son is receiving as a member of Alpine Valley School. Every day, he is engaging in and developing skills necessary to be a contributing member of society, to include government and social responsibility. He asked "Dad, is America really free?" In his time at Alpine, he's come to understand what it means to be free under the law. He's embraced the responsibility of governing himself within the bounds of the social contract as well as contributing in the judicial system. This, for our family, is priceless... and a refreshing paradigm shift from traditional education.”
