Here at EVS, we are committed to five core values:

Academic excellence is the means to a full life

Each person can develop to his or her fullest potential

Each individual is unique and deserves respect

A safe, nurturing community is essential to academic excellence

Service to others and the community is a responsibility of an educated person

We strive to make these values real to our whole community, and to continually find better ways to help them take root in your children. These are values that can guide them and support them, not just for the time they are with us, but throughout their adult lives as well.

We are looking forward to getting to know you.

We hope that you will find Everest Value School a place to call home.
