Squaw Valley Academy Appoints
McKellar As Associate Director

Squaw Valley Academy, located in Lake Tahoe, CA, has appointed Rand McKellar to the position of Associate Director of Admissions. Mr. McKellar will focus primarily on domestic student recruitment and school publications. He is enthusiastic about the school's financial aid and ability to serve students transitioning out of therapeutic programs. Mr. McKellar comes to SVA from St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont where he served as Marketing Coordinator before being promoted to Associate Director of Admissions.

McKellar says he is particularly excited about SVA's newest merit scholarship program for American students. "The merit scholarships cut the cost of attendance by almost half, which will give more students an opportunity to partake in our exceptional college preparatory experience".

"I am also very pleased to be able to offer significant levels of need based financial aid to qualified American students in addition to the merit scholarship," said McKellar.

"The other great potential I see is that Squaw Valley Academy's s structure, small size, and access to outstanding local therapists and psychiatrists make it an excellence place for students transitioning out of therapeutic boarding school," McKellar added.

Small class sizes, personalized attention, and a commitment to each student's potential allow SVA to change and shape the lives of young people from around the world. Students who have previously struggled in or been disengaged from traditional classrooms experience the affirmation of success through real accomplishment both in the classroom and through the array of outdoor sports and adventures offered at SVA.

Thank you,
Rand McKellar
