Kindergarten Site

SJVA's Primary Years Program (PYP), sets the pace for an academic career filled with high standards and global collaboration. Our kinder campus,  Kinderland, fosters a love of learning in a space dedicated to meeting the developmental needs of our youngest scholars. Kinderland offers engaging educational experiences, including daily one-on-one reading with adults as part of our reading (language arts?) program. Students enjoy daily Spanish lessons and weekly special electives, including music, inquiry room, and outdoor exploration. They learn about science and responsibility by caring for our chickens and two goats, Pickles and Daisy. Our students' achievement is continuously celebrated.  Kinderland also offers Transitional Kindergarten as a bridge between preschool and Kindergarten.

Elementary School

Our elementary students enjoy engaging inquiry-based lessons beyond our core subject areas (reading, writing, arithmetic). SJVA’s PYP provides young scholars with cutting edge, global learning opportunities, exciting and energizing their young minds for a world of possibilities. Free music lessons, musical theater, off campus field studies, foreign languages, and service clubs are part of the extensive elementary experience. SJVA utilizes every opportunity to celebrate and honor our scholars and families, including monthly awards assemblies.

Middle School

Our goal in middle school is to help our students implement strategies for growth and improvement. SJVA staff supports students through these important transition years by guiding each student individually and intentionally.  Students have an opportunity to choose their pathway in honors courses, foreign language, and electives such as band, choir, common core  (coding, robotics, aviation, drama), and competitive athletic teams. During these years students learn to manage passing periods, understand the rhythms and rise to expectations of different teachers, and gain understanding of the importance of being self-starters and life-long learners.

Since 2008, SJVA’s High School sports teams earned 21 league championships in Track, Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Golf, Baseball, and Softball. Most recently, the Girls Basketball team was  Runner-Up in both the CIF Southern Section Basketball Tournament and California’s Southern Section State Basketball Tournament.  Many of SJVA’s scholar athletes earn league MVP  and All CIF First Team honors and move on to play sports at colleges and universities across the country.
