Curriculum

The academic program at Shenandoah Valley Academy is designed to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and study skills.  SVA offers a college preparatory curriculum with broad and diverse course selections. Small class sizes help teachers engage every student.  Seventy-five percent of our teachers have a masters’ degree.  Our academics operate at high standards and students are pushed into critical analysis and thinking with the goal of enhancing intellectual self-confidence. 

We offer approximately 35 semester hours of college credits through our Dual Credit program and an additional 3 Advanced Placement (AP) courses.  We recognize that not all students have the academic background to pursue an advanced diploma, including Dual Credits, and/or AP Exams.  For these students we offer a general course of studies that will meet minimum course requirements required for admission to most colleges and universities.
