Mrs. Brandi

Principal

My name is Shelby Brandi. I have been a part of the Silver Valley Christian Academy family since November 2013. I dedicated my life to Jesus Christ when I was six years old. I grew up in the Silver Valley and graduated from Wallace Jr./Sr. High School . I completed my Associates of Science in Child Development. I originally studied Mining Engineering and was given many wonderful opportunities to explore the occupation. God continually tugged my heart in a different direction, however. I knew that belonged back home in the Silver Valley serving the families of the area I love so much. I am currently a Pastor of the Osburn Christian Center and am finishing up my Bachelors in Divinity from Christian Leaders College.

My hope is that the families of the Silver Valley, who find themselves searching for more for their children, see the potential SVCA has in providing an excellent education and fostering a relationship with Jesus Christ for those children.

Mrs. Fender

3rd-5th Teacher

My name is Cara Fender. I am blessed to be a teacher at SVCA. I have 3 children that graduated from the Academy. I have lived in California, Oregon, and Montana before moving to the Silver Valley with my family in 2014.

I believe a Christ centered education is essential. Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
