General Info
Valmont Academy was founded back in September of 1978 as Valley Montessori School. Valley Montessori School was started after a number of years of research, debates, discussions, and even a few arguments about the few successes and the many failures of the public school system. A system that consistently allowed children to pass through the grades without learning how to read, write, or to do simple math. Paul and Kathy decided that they could do something about it, on a small scale, by opening a school that would provide its students with a foundation that would carry them through life. It took over three years to raise the necessary money, locate a facility that would satisfy the many state and local codes, and to pass all of the licensing requirements, but on July 4, 1978, Valley Montessori School opened its doors with twelve students.The school grew to a student body of eighty-five students. The larger number of students gave the school a larger cash flow, that in turn allowed for improved physical conditions, but it caused a loss in academic success. As such, it was decided to make a gradual decrease in the number of students enrolled. In 2010 we decided to change our name from Valley Montessorri School to Valmont Academy. Although the name has changed the quality is still the same which is why Valmont Academy is in its 34th successful year. It is our belief that Education includes three basic components: the development of the child's self-esteem, his or her ability to see himself or herself as a capable and independent human being, academic excellence caring environment. Capable and Independent - Success in school is directly related to the degree to which children believe that they are capable.
