Bay Valley International Academy Details
Too many highly qualified international students achieve academically in their home countries, only to struggle with translating their talents to success in the unique cultural context of a U.S. university classroom and campus life. In the process, students waste time and resources. Housed in a safe, secure, and tranquil residential setting on the grounds of a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf resort in Bay City, Michigan, Bay Valley International Academy delivers courses, workshops, and cultural excursions focused on translating a student's academic success at home into achievement in a selective U.S. university. In addition to academic cultural mastery courses, BVIA offers workshops more directly focused on English language instruction, as well as TOEFL® and SAT® preparation. The BVIA program also includes a comprehensive golf academy, along with regional cultural excursions and university campus visits, that further position students for success. To avoid any delay in a student's progress toward a U.S. university degree, BVIA complements concurrent student study at a nearby nationally ranked Michigan college, where students earn credit applicable to a degree. BVIA's academic counselor, with experience placing students in a range of U.S. universities, including several Ivy League institutions, works with each student to ensure transfer to an appropriate university for degree completion following BVIA.
