Improvement Goals

At Global Village Academy North, we take great pride in our school-wide achievements, celebrating our students' progress. However, our commitment to excellence drives us to aim even higher. Through careful evaluation, we have identified three key areas for improvement and are dedicated to addressing them with focus and diligence. We will continue to reach until all GVA students reach proficiency across all content areas and their immersion language, fully embodying our mission to provide an exceptional, well-rounded learner.

 

 Please see below for GVA North’s 2024-2025 Academic Improvement Strategies:
