Silicon Valley Academy

Silicon Valley Academy proudly implements GLAD, or Guided Language Acquisition Design, as its official program model and is the only Islamic school in the nation to do so. The GLAD method was designed to promote language skills, academic achievement, and cross-cultural skills by providing teachers with strategies to help students better understand the subject matter at hand. The GLAD method was field tested for almost a decade by the United States Department of Education, and has been declared by the Department as a model of "Academic Excellence."​​

In spirit of giving back to the community at large, SVA staff has trained teachers in the GLAD Model for public school districts nationally and throughout the Bay Area including- Santa Clara Unified, Sunnyvale, San Jose Unified, and Franklin McKinley School Districts.​
