Welcome to Bear Valley Unified School District! It is the mission of Bear Valley Unified School District (BVUSD) to educate, inspire, and prepare all students by creating innovative learning environments where students thrive academically, contribute to society, and lead healthy, purposeful lives. Our schools are filled with caring, creative and talented teachers and staff members who are here to partner with parents and the community to ensure our children in Bear Valley receive a premier education.
Bear Valley Unified School District is focused on preparing students for extraordinary futures! We believe that every child possesses infinite potential and it is our calling to empower our students to achieve at the highest levels. We accomplish this by providing a rigorous and relevant curriculum that engages students, promotes critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.
