Valley Center Prep School is a fully accredited school for independent study and home school students in grades
K – 12.  Enrollment in this school is by choice and provides the opportunity for students to pursue various educational and extra-curricular activities while meeting the educational requirements of the Valley Center Pauma Unified School District. 
 
Students meet individually with a supervising teacher once per week to turn in assignments and go over lessons. Many students attending VCPS appreciate the flexibility of creating their own school schedules surrounding their involvement with sports, music, acting, employment, or attending our local Palomar Community College. The students are responsible for a minimum of twenty hours per week of academic work and are regularly assessed for progress.   School goals for our students include learning self-discipline and practicing the skills necessary for future success.

Valley Center Prep provides educational opportunities for students through a flexible and personal environment, which allows all students to grow educationally and socially, acquiring the necessary skills to become responsible contributors in society.
