Four Valleys Community

Four Valleys Community School (FVCS) offers recreational, educational and cultural activities for all ages, serving the Four Valleys area (Girdwood, Portage, Bird and Indian, Alaska).

FVCS extends a HUGE thank you to the Rasmuson Foundation for funding the purchase of new computers for the FVCS office! We also are employing new software (through ActiveNetwork.com) in order to register for classes from now on. Please be patient as we enter this new era! The FVCS staff is learning the new software just ahead of you.

Registration for the regular Winter/Spring 2012 Session (Jan. 30-May 4, 2012) will be available online on January 21, 2012.

There are three options for registering:

1. Register in the comfort of your own home.

2. If you do not have a computer at home, come to the FVCS office and use the designated FVCS computer*.

3. Have the FVCS office staff set up your account and/or enroll you and/or family members. There is a $5.00 charge for this service, in addition to the normal transaction fees*.

*When you enroll for classes, PLEASE NOTE: only payments by credit card and existing credit on account will be accepted by the online system. Except for Donations, a small processing fee will be applied to all internet transactions. This fee is paid directly to the online service provider.
