Silicon Valley Academy

"Silicon Valley Academy is such an amazing environment for my kids. I currently have a preschooler, elementary schooler, and a middle schooler, and all three LOVE going to school every day. The school focuses on social-emotional learning, as well as academic learning. My kids are being taught to be critical thinkers, how to learn and study, and ultimately, to love learning. Many teachers have been there for 10 plus years, and are so caring and nurturing. I love that SVA has a clear teaching philosophy - all teachers are trained in it and the students master its methods in Kindergarten. I love their new campus - it has huge windows with bucolic views from each classroom, a full-sized gymnasium, a science lab and makerspace (with 3-D printers), and a large soccer field and playgrounds. The classes are small - student:teacher ratio in each class is 20:1 or less, so each child gets individualized attention. I have also seen teachers and admins identify when a child needs more support, whether that is more advanced work to stay challenged or extra tutoring to not fall behind. I feel very grateful that SVA is so focused on supporting each individual student to reach his/her highest potential. I can't say enough good things about this school!"

"Great nurturing school for kids of not only the Islamic faith but others as well. One of its kind, SVA inspires the love of learning. We’ve been apart of this school for 20 years, it’s been a blessing for my family and children. Because of SVA my kids have been thriving in all aspects of their lives."

"Would not recommend ; students that take classes here will miss out on the experiences of public school, along with the poor curriculum taught here. You are better off sending your kids to a public school. Do it for the sake of your children."

"Great for parents who want to make sure their children are in a caring attentive environment. Wonderful for raising your child's self esteem and developing their emotional intelligence. I like their teaching model in that they deliver the lessons in a way that caters to the various learning styles (auditory, visual, written, etc...). My child was at a Muslim school prior to this one as well until 3rd grade - his Arabic and Quran skills improved at SVA. They make learning Quran and deen enjoyable for him. There is room for improvement to develop a more academically challenging curriculum and offer tutoring resources, especially for stem skills."

"My daughter's school. She loves it and loves her cheerful & caring teachers. Excellent place for kids to learn and build skills. They also teach Arabic and Islamic studies."
