Valparaiso Schools

Valparaiso is focused on educational excellence for all students. Placing a high value on their school systems, residents of Valparaiso enjoy the quality services provided by four school districts comprising the greater Valparaiso public education system. Through their curriculums, special programs, and extracurricular activities, Valparaiso public schools have earned the reputation for excellence in all areas of learning. This tradition of excellence is based on the best cooperative efforts of the school boards, administrations, faculties, students, parents, and community. High-quality post secondary learning options also lie within our community with the campuses of Ivy Tech Community College, Purdue University North Central, Valparaiso University, and nearby Indiana University Northwest.
