Junior High
In San Fernando Valley Academy’s Junior High School, we understand that students at this age are experiencing the time of adolescence – a time filled with enormous intellectual, physical, social, and emotional changes. Our Junior High School students move through a departmentalized program taught by faculty who embrace these years of growth and self-discovery.
The core of the curriculum is traditional with emphasis placed on reading, writing, and mathematics. With the increased volume of content in these subject areas comes the need for strong study skills, time management, and organization. Our students are challenged with concepts and skills that go beyond the rote response. Analytical and critical thinking skills are developed at an age appropriate level.
Students participate in our performance-based music, math and science programs. In music, students select from ensembles: guitar, orchestra, band or chorus. Whether on stage or working behind the scenes, students experience working as a team.
Energy and enthusiasm abound in Junior High School students. The sports program ensures that all students participate in physical activity on a regular basis. Team play, leadership, and commitment are at the core of our mission.
Our advisory system helps strengthen important student-teacher relationships and conquers issues as they arise. Advisors offer support for academic as well as social matters by meeting with advisees. The faculty strives to enhance students’ talents while providing them with challenges that inspire students to advance and grow. |
