Campus Visits and Directions

What to Expect

Come visit Verde Valley School and let us show you our beautiful campus.  A campus visit is perhaps the best way to learn about VVS and its academic program, student services, and community life.  It is important that applicants and their parents visit the camus when school is in session to meet students and teachers and have a personal interview with an Admissions Officer.  A student tour guide or admission assistant will provide you with a walking tour of the campus. When available, you will meet the Academic Dean to discuss curriculum choices, as well as our Headmaster to learn more about the history and mission of Verde Valley School.

Visits are offered Monday and Friday mornings and begin at 9:00 am in the Founder’s Room.  Please plan to spend approximately three hours on campus.



To schedule a visit, please contact the Admission Office at (928) 284-2272. You may also contact us via email at admission@verdevalleyschool.org.
