South Valley Leadership Academy

South Valley Leadership Academy ("SVLA") is a non-denominational Christian community of families in the Salt Lake Valley who come together for shared educational experiences based on the Leadership Education Model and principles found in A Thomas Jefferson Education, written by Oliver Demille.

Classes at SVLA are offered by parents, community members and other mentors who desire to provide a quality experience that will assist youth in gaining vision, skills, and abilities specific to their phase of learning and inspire them in their personal life mission. Mentors act as individual contractors, owning and running their individual class offerings.

The SVLA community honors each individual as the steward of his/her own education and seeks to support, not replace, the family as the center of learning.
