South Valley Academy

South Valley Academy, a college-preparatory public charter middle and high school, opened its doors in August, 2000. We celebrated our first graduating class in May, 2004. South Valley Academy was the realized dream of two local teachers who saw the need for a school that was personal and community based. During South Valley Academy's first year, the students created our official name, seeking to recognize the high academic standards that are central to our mission. Students are chosen by lottery. Our goal is to prepare each student to enter college without remediation.
