The Teton Valley Community School (TVCS) is a non-profit independent school located in Victor, Idaho. At the base of the Teton Mountain range, Victor is 6,200 feet above sea level and is a quickly developing alpine area. The town’s eclectic mix of pioneer families and new residents from around the globe exemplify Victor’s unique history and diversity.
Idaho is one of the most underfunded school systems in the nation. This creates a challenge for schools to accommodate the exponential growth that is taking place in towns like Victor. TVCS currently serves 70 students from preschool through 6th grade and hopes to expand to include 7th and 8th grade by the year 2011. The school is located on a 2 acre site within two existing residences that have been transformed into classrooms. Due to space constraints the school has half of its students located at a satellite campus nearby.
