Why SVH?
Endeavor Program
School begins at 8:00am and ends at 2:30pm, Monday through Thursday. The Endeavor program offers small class sizes and project-based instruction, with ample opportunities for social activities and student leadership. Learning is highly collaborative and hands-on, with students often taking courses that combine multiple subjects. This program features a community with a strong sense of acceptance.
Academy Program
The Academy Program operates on a cohort model, with students attending school for 2 hours per day, Monday through Thursday. Cohorts are approximately 20 students and learning is split between hands-on instruction at school and independent work completed at home. This program strikes a balance, offering some social interaction and project-based learning, without the stress of too many class, teacher, and peer changes.
Core Program
Students have designated days and times when they meet with the Core advisor, usually for 1-2 hours per week. Students will complete hands-on projects during their scheduled time at school and complete the rest of their coursework independently.
