Academics
Golden Valley offers academic programs with emphasis on preparation for higher education. All preparatory courses required by the University of California and many other institutions of higher learning are offered. The school contains several different clubs and learning organizations established to aid preparation for college, such as the National Honors Society (3.5 GPA and above), (JOOI) Octagon Club, and Key Club. Two Honors Scholars graduated from the school in 2012. To be an honors scholar, one must maintain a 4.0 GPA or above by the end of senior year.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
