San Ramon Valley Christian Academy

If you are looking for a school with excellent teachers, phenomenal principal and a great education for your child then SRVCA is the right choice. I love the way they inspire our children to do the right thing and have such a loving environment. My son's scores went from grade level to several levels above. The christian teaching at this school is just amazing! They've really inspired my son to continue to do good for others Miss Brady and Miss Lee have been a gift for our family!

This is an average school. We found the Math, Science, English and History to be equal or lacking in comparison to local public schools. The quality of teaching has decreased with turnover. Some kids in some grades can be quite insecure and cliquish along with the parents. On the other hand, they are supportive as a community and parents are extremely involved in the school (i.e. required volunteering). The faculty is concerned with the overall life skills of the students and love them like family. We found public schools to be less uptight, more relaxing and enjoyable for the kids.

This school is amazing! The principle and teachers are incredibly gifted at teaching to the highest standard of academics and focusing on the heart of the child. The biggest proof is in the kids that come out of this school. They excell in academics well beyond the public school standard in this area, but where they really shine is in leadership and character...something that will lead them to even greater sucess in life. This school doesn't just develop book-smart kids, (however they have the highest academic standards), but it prepares them to impact the world for God.

Outstanding school! The teachers and administration do an excellent job of preparing students for the academic and social/moral challenges of high school and beyond. Academy alumni are the best proof of this.

Do not send your child to this school if you care about academics. The school, guided by its principal, seems to be content to put more emphasis on 'good citizenship' than it does on learning. Please note the quote from SRVCA's principal herself: "I am reminded so often about what great kids we have at SRVCA. With that comes the question, what is greatness? Excellent grades, high achievers in sports and music or is it something else? I am convinced it is definitely something else." ... "Either we put them (the students) on the freeway to success, or we point them toward the long and winding road that leads to true greatness." This attitude is borne out in the truly abysmal attention that is paid to teaching academics. The administration seems to think that if it's 'good enough for God, it's good enough for me' as academic achievement becomes strictly a secondary concern. Even the local public schools have tracking programs for gifted students, SRVCA doesn't. The teachers and administration all seem nice enough, but this school can't walk and chew gum. It should be renamed to the San Ramon Valley Christian Day Care Center.

This school is fantastic. The education and focus on values is second to none.

Now that we have found a wonderful, dedicated and faithfilled principal and vice principal this school is fantastic! The faculty, staff and parents make this school a community of support and nurture for all our students.

SRVCA is a jewel. The quality of the education is surpassed only by the passion and dedication of the teachers to teach in a Christ centered environment where the love of Christ abounds. The sports programs are great, art program is high quality, and the Spanish program is wonderful! Students overall are kind, thoughtful and respectful.
