Why Parents Choose LVA
When a school is built around the way children really learn, everything changes.
Multi‑Sensory Teaching (Slingerland®)
By engaging seeing, hearing, and movement at the same time, students build strong reading and writing foundations—especially helpful for dyslexia and diverse learners.
Truly Small Class Size
Average of ~10 students per class (max 18 in middle school) means more one‑on‑one attention and faster growth.
Individualized Learning Plans (for All)
Every child has a plan. We meet students where they are—whether they’re catching up, ready to accelerate, or anywhere in between. We support IEP/504 needs and collaborate with families.
Inclusive, Growth‑Mindset Culture
Students feel known, safe, and encouraged to take healthy academic risks. Belonging fuels confidence—and confidence fuels results.

Our faculty are trained in multi‑sensory literacy, classroom differentiation, and ongoing progress monitoring. They notice the details and celebrate wins.
