IVA’s focus on intellectual character transforms the typical teacher-student interaction, student-student interaction, and even teacher-teacher interaction. Our model encourages active learning through agency and inquiry in discussion, argument, deep conceptual understanding, and metacognition -- the ability to decide when and how to use a particular problem-solving strategy. Our intellectual virtues model also determines our instructional practices and how we consider homework, make-up work, and grading policies.

This is combined with our Future Focused Education.

Bethany students take part in daily Bible instruction as well as weekly chapel.
