San Fernando Valley Academy has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 1963. This is an important accreditation because it is the only one that the California state schools of higher education (UC and CSU) recognize. Because of the high standards that California expects, other states also accept this accreditation.

The Seventh-day Adventist school system is the second-to-the-largest parochial school system in the world. The Adventist school system operates 7,500 schools in nearly 150 countries. These schools are accredited by Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA). SFVA is proud to have held AAA accreditation since 1961.
