FALLS VIEW ACADEMY Established 2009
2010 FVA Summer Session
Falls View Academy (FVA) offers students of the Honeoye Falls-Lima and surrounding school districts new opportunities in academic learning and enrichment based activities through 2010 FVA Summer Session. Our "Success Through Growth" model coupled with a tailored learning curriculum will offer students the same individualized high quality academic opportunities as seen during the school year in an exciting summer break format. The goal of 2010 FVA Summer Session is to help students stay intellectually active, linking grade specific content, and preparing them for next school year's academic rigor, while challenging them with new outlets of engaging learning opportunities and content exploration. Programming varies in instructional model and format, but always aligns with NYS learning standards and local district curriculum. 2010 FVA Summer Session will consist of afternoon summer camp sessions held in classroom, field related, and/or exploration facilities for students and families. In addition, FVA will incorporate family interactive activities into the camp to further build our larger learning community and to encourage strong parent involvement. Session information
