A One-Year Pathway to College Readiness
Our Accelerated High School Program is designed for motivated, high-achieving students seeking an intellectually rigorous and faith-centered educational experience. We offer a one-year, college-preparatory curriculum, equivalent to the freshman and sophomore years in high school with dual enrollment at the community college. SVA’s program aims to serve advanced learners within an Islamic, values-based environment that emphasizes academic excellence, character development, and leadership. Upon completion, students prepare for and take the California Proficiency Program (CPP) exam, enabling them to pursue community college enrollment on an accelerated pathway to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Program alumni have attended UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, UC San Diego, and San Jose State.

Students must have an exemplary academic record; excellent time-management skills and work ethic; a demonstrated ability to be an independent and active learner; and the social-emotional maturity to respectfully work with teachers and classmates. Please note that the program's availability is dependent on staffing resources and the number of qualified students.
