Mission
The Mission of the Great Valley School District is to ensure that every student is inspired and prepared to be a passionate lifelong learner and a productive invested participant in the local and global community.
Great Valley Middle School’s fundamental purpose is to provide an outstanding academic experience in a safe, positive and caring learning environment. We want our students to have opportunities to explore, be challenged, and develop the intrinsic skills to be independent and successful beyond their middle school years.
