Squaw Valley Academy Campus
A summer view of the center of campus |
Squaw Valley Academy is a safe, clean campus nestled
in a valley at the edge of the Tahoe National Forest and within
five miles of Lake Tahoe. Our campus is located two miles from Squaw
Valley USA, the six-peak, 32-ski-lift site of the 1960 Winter
Olympics. The Sierra Nevada provides the ideal location to support
our commitment to real accomplishment and personal achievement through
Outdoor
Education.
Come visit us.
Two separate residential buildings accommodate students and staff on-campus at Squaw Valley Academy. Students live in en-suite dormitory rooms.
Each dormitory has washing machines and dryers, and students do their own laundry. Adult staff is on duty 24 hours per day in dormitories.
The campus of the Academy extends beyond its buildings and into
the outdoor world of the Sierra Nevada. The environment surrounding
the campus holds as much potential to learn and to accomplish as
the bookshelves of the indoor classrooms. Together, academics and
the outdoor world provide a balanced education.
The historic towns of Tahoe City and Truckee, California are located
within ten miles of Squaw Valley Academy. Sacramento is 100 miles
to the west; Reno is 45 miles to the east; and San Francisco is
about 200 miles west, less than four hours by car.
At an elevation of 6,200 feet, the SVA campus experiences the full
range of seasonal climates with about 300 days of sunshine each year.
The average temperatures range from a low of 20° F in the winter
to a high of 85° F in the summer.
The sun shines about 300 days per year, especially during
the winter season.
