About Us

Mountain Valley has provided residential, mental health, and educational programs for special education students for more than 50 years. Our educational program is WASC accredited and residential and mental health programs are accredited by the Council on Accreditation.

We are located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains just outside of Nevada City, California. We are uniquely able on our 90-acre ranch, to provide a range of settings and experiences for the youth participating in our programs.
