At our school, we reinforce three essential life skills in an Islamic context: making good decisions, solving our problems, and showing respect. SVA prioritizes fostering an Islamic environment with our teachers building a sense of community and developing each students' Islamic identity by modeling Islamic values and integrating Islam into everything we teach.
