Valley Catholic School is a private Roman Catholic school in Beaverton, Oregon, United States, within the Archdiocese of Portland.

The school is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon. Until 1991, it was an all-girls school and was named St. Mary of the Valley Academy (colloquially known as "St. Mary's"), but at the start of the 1991–1992 school year boys were admitted for the first time, and the school was renamed Valley Catholic School.[4]

Valley Catholic has been accredited through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools since 1965.[1]

During enrollment, students can apply for VCES Valley Catholic Elementary School, VCMS Valley Catholic Middle School, and VCHS Valley Catholic High School.
