WELCOME
Imagine learning anatomy, physiology, biology and health from a medical doctor. Or imagine taking music from a recording professional. Or taking English from a published author and film actor. Or studying history from a published historian. These are not imaginations at SFVA. This is who our students learn from daily. And the standardized testing is there to prove the excellent education that they are getting. Our credentialed teachers have a combined teaching history of over 200 years. In other words, our teachers know what they are doing and, more importantly, love what they are doing--educating students for the future.​ College prep diplomas are given to those students who complete the necessary requirements and most of the students do. Honors courses are taught in English and history. Graduates of SFVA can compete with any graduate of any school out there and we are very proud of that. Know that when students attend SFVA, they are getting a very well-rounded, competitive college prep education.
Social Studies
Our Social Studies program helps students understand history, geography, culture, and civics while developing critical thinking and research skills. Through engaging lessons and projects, students explore the past and connect it to the world today. Biblical values such as integrity, responsibility, and respect for others are woven throughout the curriculum to encourage informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens.
Math
Math is an essential subject, especially for students pursuing careers in the medical, engineering, and technical fields. At SFVA, many students aspire to enter these pathways, and a strong foundation in mathematics—alongside science—equips them with critical problem-solving, analytical, and reasoning skills. Instruction is aligned with Common Core standards and integrated with the SDA North American Division curriculum, using standards-based learning practices. Through project-based learning and hands-on experiences, students actively apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations, preparing them for future academic success and professional readiness.
Science
Our Science program encourages curiosity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning through the integration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). Students explore scientific concepts through experiments, investigations, and real-world challenges that promote critical thinking and creativity. High school students have the unique opportunity to learn from a practicing doctor, gaining real-world insight into scientific concepts and careers. Biblical principles of stewardship, curiosity, and responsibility are woven throughout instruction, helping students understand and care for God’s creation.
Literature Arts
Writing is the foundation of our Literature Arts program. We believe that strong writing skills are essential, as students who have not learned how to properly write, cite, and format papers are often unprepared for the demands of college. That’s why SFVA emphasizes clear, structured, and well-supported writing across all grade levels. High school students have the unique opportunity to learn from a published book author, gaining insight into professional research and writing practices. Students study the great writers of our country and the world, learning their styles and techniques with the understanding that by studying the greats, students themselves can become great writers.
Art
Visual arts are a daily part of each student's activities. It is important to facilitate and encourage the creative mind. Every student also has the opportunity to be in a band or a choir. The elementary trains students in a beginning band and choir and by the time a student gets into high school they are a skilled musician. ​ There is also an opportunity to be on the school yearbook. This not only gives a student art credit, but it gives them real-life experience in being involved with a business. Yearbook is both a business, a club and class on campus. A lot of learning is done in both music and yearbook.
Physical Education
Nothing is more important than teaching people how to stay healthy and PE is a place where that is taught. Whether it is through individual exercise or through organized sports, they will be found at SFVA. Volleyball, soccer, flag football, basketball, golf, softball and floor hockey are a just a few of the fun sports played.
Bible
Our Bible program guides students in exploring Scripture, understanding God’s Word, and applying biblical principles to daily life. Through study, discussion, and reflection, students develop spiritual growth, critical thinking, and moral reasoning. Lessons emphasize integrity, compassion, and stewardship, helping students live out their faith with purpose and wisdom in today’s world.
