Young minds crave knowledge. Each child we teach to love learning will be successful in life. Beginning in Kindergarten, NVA students are educated in three very important areas:
Academics
The Core Knowledge curriculum exposes students to a broad range of historical, scientific, and cultural topics that build on one another from grade to grade so students have a solid foundation on which to build for later educational success. This wide array of subject matter will not only develop cultural literacy, but will also build the strong vocabulary necessary for true reading comprehension. Visit our Curriculum page to learn about the rest of our curriculum.
Character Development
Great Expectations is not just a description of our methodology. It is the name of the component of our curriculum that teaches your child to be a great human being--not just a knowledgeable one. "Old fashioned" values, ideals, and principles like please, thank you, looking people in the eye, showing repect for yourself and others (and really knowing what that means) are incorporated into your child's daily activities. We are especially proud of the fact that these expectations extend to our staff who demonstrate by their example how to conduct themselves. Our students see that these principles and values apply to adults too.
Patriotism
We are the North Valley Academy Patriots! Our school colors are red, white, and blue. When you walk into our school, you will pass quotes/sayings, photographs, and posters about patriotism. Even our core of our dress code reflects our appreciation of this country as students wear red, white, or blue.
If you visit at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday mornings, you won't find the students in their classrooms. All students and school personnel will be gathered in the common area for the weekly, Rise and Shine Ceremony. Those assembled begin by saying the Pledge of Allegience. This is followed by reciting our State of Idaho pledge and learning a patriotic song. Finally they are taught a word of the month, such as respect. They will learn to spell the word, define it, and implement it in their lives.
