Val Vista Academy offers an engaging, well-rounded education that strives to meet the individual needs of every learner. This philosophy includes a STEM-infused curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.) We believe that providing the building blocks during early education will help our students foster and prepare for the technology-driven world we now live in. Students will rotate through specials classes daily (P.E., Technology, Art, Spanish, and Library).

HMH Journeys: provides an ELA instructional system for reading both literature and informational texts, for acquiring foundational skills, and for developing mastery of speaking, listening and writing.
Wilson Fundations: Students are taught phonics with the Wilson Fundations which enables learners to experience a multi-sensory, systematic approach designed to address the growing needs of emergent readers.
Pearson enVision is a comprehensive mathematics curriculum with superior focus, coherence, and rigor. Ensure success at every level with problem-based learning, embedded visual learning, and personalization to empower every teacher and student.
Harcourt & McGraw Hill: Social Studies emphasizes the exploration of geography, history and current events. Social Studies concepts are often taught in conjunction with ELA standards, such as informational reading and research skills. We use Harcourt and McGraw Hill text series to support learning. Use of primary source documents, video, discussion, and other relevant sources are also integral to the program.
Discovery Education Science connects students to their inner curiosity by placing them at the center of each three-dimensional learning experience as they lead exhilarating investigations to uncover the mysteries of the universe.
