High School
Welcome to SkyView Academy High School!
It is an honor and privilege to lead the high school at SkyView Academy. We truly enjoy building relationships with our students as we work to guide and mentor them in preparation for college and life beyond SkyView. It’s not often that you have the opportunity to have positive, meaningful relationships with your high school principals, but we sincerely love talking with our students, learning about their lives, and supporting them in any way we can!
At SkyView, our goal is to see 100% of our graduates prepared for life during and beyond high school. As such, we provide a rigorous, engaging, safe environment which prepares graduates for success. By utilizing a college prep, liberal arts curriculum and emphasizing a classical approach to education, we prepare our students to both think critically and become lifelong learners. Throughout their journey students experience a culture of high expectations along with high levels of social, emotional, and academic support.
