Bear Valley Academy is a community organization of educators and families designed to encourage, empower, and develop young children.
BVA was founded in 2004 as a ministry of Bear Valley Church.
We believe in encouraging our student's natural curiosity, nurturing their strengths, and learning through hands-on participation in an academically enriched, relationship focused program.
We focus on educating the whole child by allowing space for each student`s individual needs, academically, socially, and emotionally, through emergent and developmentally appropriate curriculum, building our student`s confidence and self-worth as lifelong learners.
