SVP: Where Small Classes Build Big Futures and Middle Schoolers Feel at Home.
South Valley Prep is a small, safe, and family‑focused middle school where students are known by name and supported to grow academically, socially, and emotionally — prepared for high school and life.
Built by Educators. Inspired by Community.
Founded by South Valley educators and families, South Valley Prep was created to give local middle schoolers a place that feels safe, personal, and full of possibility. Our small-school model ensures every student is seen, supported, and set up for success.
Small Classes. Better Learning.
We believe middle school should feel personal — not packed. Our small classrooms give students space to grow, teachers time to care, and families reason to feel confident. Every day at SVP, learning feels safer, stronger, and more meaningful because it happens within a true community.

More than Classes. It's a Journey of Growth.
At South Valley Prep, learning doesn’t stop when the bell rings — it expands beyond the classroom and into the community. Our programs are designed to help every middle schooler discover their strengths, stretch their confidence, and find joy in learning. Whether it’s mastering math, playing on the court, or giving back to the South Valley, students at SVP learn by doing — and by belonging.
