Leadership Academy is an innovative program designed to develop the leadership potential of high school juniors and seniors in Stanislaus County. The program brings youth and local organizations, public and private, together to discuss and explore leadership in unique ways. Participants interact with their peers and community leaders during full-day sessions to learn firsthand about emerging community issues and increase their awareness of local career opportunities within our county that may be available to them after completing a secondary school or training program.
High school students who will be juniors or seniors for the upcoming school year are invited to apply and interview to be a part of the program. The Leadership Academy's goal is to recruit, from a range of Stanislaus County public and private schools, a diverse group of students from different backgrounds and leadership levels, with a 2.0 G.P.A. or higher who have demonstrated a potential for leadership and a desire to help their community.

Below is current information about their programs, scholarship levels, out of state tuition and fly-in event for seniors.
IGETC is a general education pattern that, upon full or “partial” (all but two courses) certification, will satisfy all or most lower-division general education requirements at California State University (CSU) campuses, most University of California (UC) campuses/majors, and some private/independent or out-of state universities. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or higher. IGETC certification is not recommended for “high-unit” majors. Complete a Guidance class or meet with a counselor to accurately plan coursework to satisfy transfer admission and upper-division major requirements.
Deciding on a college and/or choosing to embark on a career path can feel overwhelming! The BVCS counseling staff are here to walk students and parents through the process beginning in ninth grade and culminating with each seniors choosing the best personal path. We work to demystify the college admission process. Using the most current technical tools, we enable students to become informed stakeholders and responsible decision-makers. We know the college admissions process is a family experience, so we invite parents to work with us to help students plan for college, career and life.
