Episode #2
In this second episode of “An Inside Look” series we invite you to explore how Valley adapted to the sudden shift to eLearning last spring.
Two fundamental components were necessary for our rapid transition to eLearning to be successful. One – strong leadership that holds a clear vision for meeting the needs of the student – academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally. And two – capable, confident, passionate teachers that were prepared to rise to this new challenge.
Valley students and faculty did not know Friday, March 13 would be their last time together as a student body for the school year. They did not know that they were attending their last in-person chapel in the gym, their last in-person class discussion, their last lunch with their lunch table. The only thing they did know was that for the next three weeks (and more as time would reveal…) their educational experience would be transitioning to an online one.
The circumstances surrounding the global pandemic required an almost immediate shift in the format of education and Valley Lutheran leadership and teachers were on the front lines of that transition. We invite you to hear directly from them.

Episode #3
Welcome to our third episode of “An Inside Look” series, where we invite you to hear directly from our students.
In this look we’re pulling back the curtain even further and asking our students to share their perspectives. They are, after all, likely the best ‘look’ at what a VL education is, as they’re living it and experiencing it every day!
Leah. David. Kaitlyn. Ian. Chae. Travis.
These six current students not only share their reflections of the eLearning months last spring, but also the bigger picture of what makes Valley Lutheran special.
We invite you to join us in this third episode of “An Inside Look”.

Students often describe the sense of belonging they experience as a member of Valley’s school community. Whether that comes through sports, fine arts (instrumental music, vocal music, art, drama), club involvement, relationships with fellow students and faculty, faith development, or something else, the fact remains – Valley Lutheran students belong.
