Inclusive Not Exclusive
We support and care for ALL our learners at SCVi. We know each of our TK-12th graders by name and make sure to greet them every morning as they arrive. We also take the time to meet learners where they are academically and socially and help them grow and learn into their full potential.
At our tuition-free school, we center our curriculum around project-based learning. This collaborative, problem-solving approach means learners work together while learning specific fundamentals. We have space for a huddle, space to research and collaborate, and all the space to get any help needed.
We are a family community at SCVi: all are welcome. We are a small school that loves to make big connections. We encourage having our families in our school, volunteering in the classroom, helping out at events, and/or taking part in one of our seminars.
Investing in Our Learners
At SCVi, we are so excited to invest in the best for our learners. We have carefully considered a multitude of educational models and ideas and adapted them to serve our community’s needs. Here are some ways we have gone above and beyond a traditional public school model.
– Our Learner Outcomes focus on developing Lifelong Learners, Empathetic Citizens, Authentic Individuals, and Design Thinkers
– Our Leader in Me Program focuses on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People series.
– Move This World engages learners with short effective exercises for their age level.
– Learner-Led Conferences (LLCs) empower learners to take charge of their academic and personal growth and invite families in to see their progress.
– Our Advisory Program for upper school and Morning Meetings for lower school gives learners the opportunity to grow socially and emotionally in a supportive environment.
– Our Love and Logic discipline approach fosters a respectful environment where learners develop responsibility.
– Our Reports of Progress include a narrative about your child’s development, both academically and socially. We know and cherish your child!
-Every grade has an aerospace project designed for their level, from studying how animals fly to flying a glider yourself to completing our aerospace career-connected learning pathway.
-Through our DreamUp to Space program, our students have sent science projects up to space and conducted experiments on the International Space Station.
SCVi does not have a traditional classroom setup, and that’s on purpose. We want our learners to move around and engage in creativity, curiosity and synergy. Think 21st-century ideas centered around work and collaboration.
