Excelling Teaching & Learning : Alternative Education

Our Goal

We are committed to providing a safe learning environment that empowers all students to develop leadership, respect, integrity, concern for others, and the courage to accept challenges. We believe that our purpose is to educate all students to high ethical and academic standards so that they are prepared to be academically and professionally competitive in an ever-changing world.

In order to achieve this goal, students address and progress towards the following
Six Pillars of Character:

1. Trustworthiness
2. Respect
3. Responsibility
4. Fairness
5. Caring
6. Citizenship

Mission

Our staff is committed to maintaining a proactive environment in which students who have not achieved success in the traditional environment feel valued, secure, and self-confident. We serve students who have a documented history of disruptive behavior/multiple suspensions, students with attendance issues and/or are identified as dropouts, and students in poor academic standing. Additionally, we foster a classroom atmosphere that addresses academic, social, and emotional needs, motivating all students to develop a positive attitude toward themselves, their community, and their education.

Sierra Vista Academy "All students can and will learn"

Sierra Vista Academy is committed to the success of all students by establishing alternative transitional programs that focus on students in grades 4-8 yet provide limited services for nontraditional students in grades 9-12. These programs, located at the Paiute Neighborhood Learning Center (4-6) and the Apache facility (7-12), have been researched and designed according to best practice in alternative education. The programs maintain high academic and behavioral standards fostering a learning community that promotes courage, integrity, concern, curiosity and leadership.
