If you are considering going to this school, my advice is don't go here. The only thing that made it a decent school was the teachers. We didn't have textbooks in some classes, didn't have AC or heat, didn't have wifi, sports... Squaw calls itself a school but the last thing they are interested in is your education

SVABA is working to build a strong legacy. We follow in the footsteps of our main campus SVA. Our students go beyond and are prepared for college and real world situations.

Excellent, we are working to build a stellar school that really builds students up and does not let them fall behind. We are continuing the SVA Lake Tahoe legacy and are proud to have extended their tradition of academic excellence into the San Francisco Bay Area.

Academically weak. Financially unstable and lacking important educational resources. Disorganized. Unethical and vision-less leadership.

Great, truly building a great legacy and solid foundation with this team of educators, staff, and students.

This school is very disorganized with many last minute changes to the academic schedule. This school has a watered-down curriculum and will accept almost any student who pays the bills. There were several students who did absolutely no academic work throughout an entire year, and yet these students were invited to return because the students paid the tuition.

This is the second year for this campus location. The school evolved significantly and so does the management. The teachers are highly credentialed and have to successfully pass through rigorous selections in order to be a member of this exclusive, private high school community. The school welcomes both teachers and students learning feedbacks and will not hesitate to make necessary changes if needed. Consistent communication and appropriate teaching materials are important elements to a student’s success. I am pleased to see the tremendous progress that school has achieved. It is an ideal stepping stone for the students with the room to learn and grow from mistakes.

Significantly below average in terms of academics. Very few extra-curricular resources. Lacks basic classrooms resources like textbooks and computers.
