I enjoyed almost all of my teachers and found that many had a passion for what they taught. I'd like to see less stringent rules; the current rules seem overbearing for no really good reason.

It was an ok school. I thought it could have done more to ready their students for college. I also though that they should rely on more of the fine arts instead of sports since they thought arts are not important for the students education
5.0 Sophomore

I personally liked the teachers. They all helped you if you needed help. I also liked the sports. We all played very well together. Every sport I was in it seemed as if we worked as a team. What I would like to change is the school's food. Some days we all got plenty of food. But other days we hardly got any. Over all Boy Valley is a really good school.

Boyer Valley set me up with the tools to succeed in life and prepare me for college / post-graduate life through the courses and offerings. I would not be where I am today without the foundation this school provided me.
