We are delighted to share information about our school, district, and our many successes. We are a part of the Page Unified School District in Page, Arizona. We proudly serve students in third through fifth grade.

The faculty, staff, and parent community of Desert View Intermediate is dedicated to the goal of improving academic achievement and in providing outstanding educational opportunities for all of our students.

We Believe...

  1. All children can learn.
  2. It is necessary to educate the whole child.
  3. Society is enriched through an appreciation of differences.
  4. Students should be engaged in activities which promote making appropriate decisions and taking responsibility.
  5. Learning is more effective when the home, school and other community members work together.
  6. Education fosters the development of individual abilities and talents.
  7. The curriculum and teaching methods should encourage students to apply their knowledge and skills in a variety of situations.
  8. Students learn most effectively when they are actively engaged in meaningful experiences in a stimulating environment.
  9. Learning to work cooperatively, while maintaining a sense of self, is important to the child's development.
  10. The development of problem-solving and higher level thinking skills help prepare the child for a lifetime of learning.
