Valley View has a STEM School Silver Designation!
Valley View has the Utah STEM school Silver Designated given by the Utah STEM Action Center. We will be applying to upgrade out designation to Platinum this year.
Our vision is to create an intentional, systematic approach to teaching science, technology, engineering, and math through project-based learning focusing on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Our goal is to inspire and engage students to pursue STEM learning as they move on to Jr. High and High school in order to prepare them for the careers of the future.
