We chose Great Valley Academy because we wanted a school focused on developing the whole child. We recognized that GVA is a school that focuses on children's academic, social, and emotional needs rather than simple test scores. We have loved GVA's fantastic committed, passionate, and student-focused teachers. My children have had incredible teachers who have nurtured, inspired, encouraged, motivated, and instilled a love of learning in them. GVA's dedication to their students sets them apart from traditional schools.

"We are so grateful for GVA! Since coming to GVA for 5th grade, my son, who has ADHD, has BLOSSOMED! He's now in 6th grade, loves coming to school, has many friends and even joined the band. He is a changed little boy and all for the better. He feels loved and cared for here at GVA and his social and academic life has increased by leaps and bounds!"

Quite simply, it’s the training. Every employee on campus is trained to address and help the WHOLE child. My educational background is child development and my husband is a public school teacher. I would pay money for this school. It is hands down the most comprehensive approach to education I have seen and experienced. We have sought after enrollment in this school for 5 years. I can’t believe they live up to the hype and to the promises stated in the orientation meeting.

GVA has been the best choice for both of my students. My daughter is currently a Junior in High School and attended GVA from Kinder – 8th. She is a 4.0 student who is extremely involved in leadership and many other activities at her school. I believe her drive to be an involved student began at GVA. It was a school she was proud to not only attend but grow and thrive as part of the GVA family. Their focus on critical thinking has been crucial to her success as a High School student. For my son who is currently an eighth-grade student at GVA, the importance of physical education, movement and sports has been very important. He also enjoys the GEMS program and has really grown to push himself to think outside the box. We initially chose GVA for the family atmosphere that it fosters. We love that we are always not only welcome but encouraged to be a part of our children’s education.

GVA is a welcomed change! I appreciate the innovative teaching styles that GVA offers. The research based vision learning program that GVA uses has helped my child in so many areas of his academics. Music and foreign language begin early. I also appreciate that teachers get to stay with their student for at least two years. That way, the teacher has a greater opportunity to really see my child's potential and works to his strengths. Proud to be part of GVA!
