PN - 8 Experience

Students, parents, and teachers collaborate to fill the calendar with events and activities suited to the needs and interests of Green Vale and the larger community.

School Leadership

Jesse N. Dougherty, Ed.D.

I strongly believe the most authentic way to measure any school's success is by its graduates."

Jesse N. Dougherty, Ed.D.
Head of School

Narinder Bhalla

Our students and faculty are creative, reflective, and compassionate, life long learners."

Narinder Bhalla
Associate Head of School

Kelly Flink

Young children learn best when they are actively engaged, socially integrated and able to build purposeful connections to their everyday world through exploration."

Director of Early Childhood

Linda Gardiner

Martin Luther King, Jr. hit the nail on the head when he said, 'The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.' The faculty here are the magicians who make true education come alive each day. I'm the lucky one who gets to support their work."

Cathy Iannotta

Whether in the classroom, the school as a whole, or taking Green Vale students into the community, I've always recognized the value of reaching students' hearts."
