Life After SVS

Spring Valley has shown me that I do not have to be defined by my differences, 

because my strengths count.”

What Our Families Are Saying

I am writing to let you know how my daughter is doing.  She is doing wonderfully.  She has made the A Honor Roll for the first semester. She has been selected Student of the Month. She plays in the band. As you can see, she is flourishing right in front of our eyes. I don't believe that all of this could be possible without having attended Spring Valley. For that, I thank you all!

What a wonderful sanctuary of safety and learning!  We are thrilled that there is a dynamic learning institution in Birmingham committed to providing a foundation of educational success to those students with learning differences.

Thanks to Spring Valley, my son has gone from a boy who struggled to read to a child who loves books.  If Spring Valley hadn't been here for my child we would have left the state!

What I like about Spring Valley is the fact that the relationship between teachers and parents is so one-on-one.  I have noticed tremendous improvement in my child's reading and she does not feel self conscious about reading in front of anyone.  Spring Valley has been a welcomed change.

My student now comprehends and retains more than most high school students because the faculty at Spring Valley introduced him to audiobooks.

My son who wanted to quit school at age 8 has begun to talk about what he wants to be when he grows up.

Spring Valley School has been a lifesaver for our family. Youth who learn differently deserve a quality educational environment where they can excel and grow. Spring Valley encourages students to be better versions of themselves with amazing faculty, dedicated leadership and evidence based models. The low student/teacher ratio ensures that students truly understand concepts and build a foundation for learning. Children feel accepted and flourish when the teaching method is better suited to their learning style. We are grateful to Spring Valley and highly recommend it to families who are struggling with traditional settings. Visit once and see the difference.

I was a student of SVS from 6th grade to my graduation from highschool. The faculty not only helped me learn about my learning difference and how to cope with it, they taught how to succeed. Both the faculty and the students have become my family and I plan to be apart of the schools growth from now to the future.
