Our Mission

At North Valley Charter Academy, our mission is to serve students from the culturally diverse San Fernando Valley by creating a school community that promotes Academic Excellence, equips students with Democratic Leadership skills, and facilitates Personal Growth. We affirm that young people of all backgrounds; ethnic, cultural, socio-economic and gender, and irrespective of disabilities, can, and should be included in educational environments that promote these ideals. We seek to achieve our mission by providing learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate, require creative exploration, and honor each student’s unique talents and contributions.
 

At North Valley Charter Academy, our vision is a school where all community members experience a truly democratic organization that demands responsible, creative, deeply considered participation in all of the community’s varied aspects; governance, learning, teaching and social interaction. Our vision includes:
 

• Increasing and improving opportunities for disadvantaged youth
• Creating meaningful opportunities for parent involvement
• Deepening student learning
• Supporting the individual student in the development of an internal sense of responsibility
• Honoring a love of life-long learning for all community members
 

We envision incorporating current adolescent development theory into curriculum design, using proven innovative, best practice teaching methods, developing practical and useful alternative forms of assessment, and creating new professional opportunities for teachers. North Valley Charter Academy graduates will be able to think, read, write, speak and listen confidently and effectively. They will also be fluent in technology, creative in problem-solving, literate in scientific and mathematical reasoning, self motivated and committed to lifelong learning. They will be able to participate in their lives and communities by addressing complex community issues and will communicate capably
across race, gender, sexual orientation and class lines. They will exhibit developmentally appropriate levels of self-worth and compassion for others. North Valley Charter Academy graduates will be capable of making meaningful choices in their lives and in their communities.
