West Valley College

West Valley is about success. It’s about helping students create a future for themselves so they can contribute to a world that needs their talents, drive and enthusiasm.

We do that by providing as much one-on-one interaction with students as possible. The results speak for themselves: 656 students transferred to UCs and CSUs in the Fall 2017 semester; 705 students earned AA/AS degrees in 2017; 139 students earned certificates that led to careers in 2017. We host learners from 25 countries who come to the United States looking for the kind of instruction that will help them contribute to the global economy. We offer classes on our beautiful 143-acre Saratoga campus in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, located at the southwest border of Silicon Valley. Here you can expand your mind, hang out with friends, and contemplate a world of ideas.
