This school is a good attempt at a parent partnership program. Do not forget this is NOT homeschool. Your student is still held to the district expectations and there is no wiggle room which you would get being truly homeschool. Your child will have to adjust to their learning and teaching style and if unable to do so than will be labeled as falling behind. There are other PPP's out there that do better than this one. However, it is a nice attempt.

SVLA provides a wonderful environment for learning! The electives offered to the students are wonderful and the teachers are amazing. SVLA provides homeschooled students with all the wonderful parts of traditional school without it actually being traditional.

SVLA is the best. My son was tested as both gifted and ADD. He was doing well in his school but was very frustrated. He loved to learn, but was beginning to hate school. He attended SVLA from 7th - 8th grade and loved it. It proved enough structure to keep him on track and enough freedom to explore venues he and I really wanted to explore. Think of this as a well structured, well guided home school. The teachers (who are the absolute best) teach the core material and teach it well. There is a very low student to teacher ratio. You and the student can spend the remainder of the time really diving into other material. The only negative about SVLA is that outside the core classes, they have little to offer. That is, the class selection is limited. Because of this, my son started his 9th grade year at CV high school. But, because of SVLA, he is taking mostly 10th and 11th grade classes and excelling. Again, SVLA is the best and the teachers there are absolutely great.
