Inspiring independence, leadership, and a love for learning in every student.
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classes are taught by teachers with, on average, over 10 years of teaching experience, and with undergraduate and master's degrees from universities including Stanford, MIT, and Zaytuna College. SVA middle school curriculum focuses on preparing our students for high school, including a focus on writing, public speaking, STEAM, and critical thinking.

Students who graduate middle school from SVA and transition to local public schools enter high school at or above grade level. Students who complete the standard math track at SVA will have completed Algebra I by 8th grade, which is equivalent to the accelerated math track in most local public middle schools. SVA graduates generally take Geometry in 9th grade and are on track to take AP Calculus by 12th grade, a requirement of many universities for acceptance into their highly competitive STEM programs.
SVA prides itself on meeting each student at their level and challenging them to reach their highest potential. To this end, SVA accommodates middle school (and other) students who may benefit from taking a math class above or below their grade level.
