About VVS

Mission

Located in Sedona, Arizona, Verde Valley School is an international college preparatory boarding school and day school.

Founded in 1948 by Hamilton and Barbara Warren, VVS was built on their dream: "If we bring together talented young people from around the world and ask them to build and to study, to work and to learn, we can change the world for the better." VVS continues to live this ideal, today.

VVS inspires the best in young peoples' hearts as well as their minds. It is a boarding school dedicated to the highest ethical and academic standards teaching languages and cross-cultural communication, anthropology and responsibility, biology and environmentalism, and the arts through self expression. Verde Valley School offers boarding school and day school students an experience that will last a lifetime.
