For 27 years, the Sonoma Valley Academy mission has been to make education personal™ for each student. We seek to remedy a student’s lack of confidence, comprehension, and ability. Sometimes a young person just needs a change of environment, individualized teacher attention, and live communication to excel.

Thus, as a small, nonprofit, private school, Sonoma Valley Academy addresses the individual. We give each student the opportunity for a fresh educational start.
Our goal is to return education to something a child wants to do instead of something he or she has to do. Each student is unique. Each child has his or her own interests and ambitions, goals and purposes, abilities and strengths. At SVA, the teachers work to find these inborn treasures and align each student’s individualized educational program accordingly. We do not teach to a class norm but directly to the individual. In this manner, our teachers make education personal and desirable.
