Blending Innovation with Tradition
At Livermore Valley Academy, our curriculum is designed to provide a rich and engaging educational experience that blends innovative techniques and technologies with tried-and-true traditional methods.
We primarily utilize the SAVVAS (formerly Pearson) curriculum, ensuring that it meets state and national standards while being adaptable to individual learning needs.

Each student has access to both electronic and physical textbooks in every subject, fostering versatile and effective learning. Our curriculum prioritizes critical thinking and problem-solving, encouraging students to explore concepts in depth. In addition, we teach cursive writing and introduce typing skills, along with Microsoft Office, to equip students with essential communication tools for success in the digital age.
