Tualatin Valley Academy

Tualatin Valley Academy (TVA) is a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade private school in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1916 as Tualatin Valley Junior Academy, the school is affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. TVA previously was affiliated with the Ring of Fire handbell choir from its inception in 1997 until 2004.
It is a part of the Seventh-day Adventist education system, the world's second-largest Christian school system.〔http://www.csmonitor.com/Commentary/Opinion/2010/1115/For-real-education-reform-take-a-cue-from-the-Adventists"the second largest Christian school system in the world has been steadily outperforming the national average – across all demographics."〕〔http://www.religionfacts.com/christianity/denominations/seventh_day_adventist.htm〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://education.gc.adventist.org/about.html )
==History==
The academy was founded in Washington County in 1916 as Tualatin Valley Junior Academy (TVJA).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our History )〕 The school relocated in the fall of 1957 to a site on Southwest Baseline Road near Cornelius Pass Road.〔 TVA is still located there in what is now the city of Hillsboro.〔 From late December 1989 to January 1990, 14 students from the school spent their Christmas vacation assisting in the construction of a church in Mexico.〔Bodine, Harry. “Hillsboro teens labor on Mexican church”, ''The Oregonian'', February 1, 1990, West Zoner, p. 5.〕 In 1997, teacher Jason Wells formed the Ring of Fire handbell choir at the school.〔Tareen, Sophia. “Ring of Fire chosen for inaugural events”, ''The Oregonian'', January 18, 2005, West Zoner, p. B2.〕 Ring of Fire performed at the inaugurations of President George W. Bush in both 2001 and 2005.〔 The choir was opened up to non-students in 2004 when Wells left the academy.〔
In October 2001, revelations of sexual abuse by two male teachers at the school surfaced.〔Danks, Holly. (“Teachers facing sex abuse charges”, ) ''The Oregonian'', October 29, 2001, West Zoner, p. C1.〕〔Anderson, David R. “Ex-teacher sentenced for sex with 17-year-old”, ''The Oregonian'', January 10, 2002, West Zoner, p. B2.〕〔Anderson, David R. (“Teacher admits sex abuse of students”, ) ''The Oregonian'', June 11, 2002, West Zoner, p. B2.〕 Abuse by one teacher, who was also an administrator, began in 1996 and involved three female students.〔〔〔 The second teacher abused one girl, who had first been a victim of the first teacher.〔〔〔 Both men pled guilty to sexual abuse and were sentenced six years and six months in detention, respectively.〔〔〔
TVA joined with neighbors in 2003 to fight against allowing Wal-Mart to build a store one block from the school.〔Anderson, David R. “Wal-Mart foes hone tactics”, ''The Oregonian'', June 29, 2003, p. B1.〕 The city did not approve plans for the store and it was not built. Also in 2003, the academy received accreditation from the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools for its middle school program.〔 〕 In 2009, the school's name was changed to Tualatin Valley Academy.〔 That year some students' artwork was sold at Cornell University's ornithology lab as a project to raise funds for the academy's science and arts programs.
