Linked Learning Framework

During the 2012-2013 school year, SVAH faculty and staff unanimously decided to join cohort two of Linked Learning by adopting its school-to-career framework. SVAH has two pathways, Visual/Fine Arts & Design/Media Arts, and is creating a program of study that produces graduates who will be college and career ready. As a certified Linked Learning school, all teachers, counselors, coordinators and administrators will work together to implement programs, projects and curricula that support SVAH’s Linked Learning career and college pathways and student outcomes.
