The mission of BVA is to provide rich and interactive learning opportunities that extend beyond the state standards, spark imaginations and produce creative, independent thinkers. StudentĀ centered, interdisciplinary thematic units are developed by teachers, creating partnerships with local educational, cultural, and scientific research organizations to enhance learning of languages, history, the arts, and sciences. Innovative and talented teachers engage students in learning while preparing them to become creative and compassionate members of our community.
