SQUAW VALLEY ACADEMY is a
college-preparatory international boarding school at Lake Tahoe for grades 6-12.
We enroll students who need the structure of small classes,
two-hour evening study halls, and weekend activities. As the
oldest private school at Lake Tahoe, founded in 1978, the
individual needs of each student remain an integral part of
Squaw Valley Academy campus life.
Our staff and faculty believe self-esteem is enhanced through real
accomplishment in the academic, athletic, and social aspects of
life at a boarding school. All students participate in Outdoor Education
that integrates the math, science, and humanities curricula outside
the traditional classroom. If a student keeps grades up to standard,
she or he may ski or snowboard daily at Squaw Valley USA, the thirty-ski-lift
home of the 1960 Olympics.
Fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges,
Squaw Valley Academy meets the California state standards for middle
and high school students. Our faculty prepares students for the
college of their choice by meeting the standards for the University
of California system. Our graduates maintain 100%
college acceptance rate into an average of three universities
or colleges. Students may receive dual high school and college credit
recognized by the California State University and University of
California schools by participating in the Academic Enrichment program
at a local community college.
Please contact our staff to inquire how we can meet the educational
needs of the middle or high school student in your family.

We challenge with rigorous academics; we support with consistent
