Meet Our Academic
Curriculum Coordinator
Edward Evans, III
Mr. Evans is influential in developing and maintaining a curriculum of high academic standards that reflects our educational philosophy of:
- Professionalism
- Respect & Responsibility
- Innovation & Adaptability
- Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
- Emotional, Physical & Social Wellness
Working in collaboration with our academic teachers, Mr. Evans oversees and helps integrate a fusion of academic and career technical learning into our course selections. He supports BVT's commitment to providing every student with an education best suited to their individual needs and learning styles. At the same time, our course offerings are carefully developed to challenge all students to maximize their academic and vocational experiences at BVT.
Academic Course Selection Process
The academic course selection process is a collaborative event that factors in student interest, parent/guardian concerns, teacher and counselor recommendations, student work ethic, and past student performance, as well as data points that may include placement test and standardized test results. Students achieving a grade of 90 or better are encouraged to consider the next higher level of that course. Our primary objective is to place students appropriately in courses and levels in which they will not only be challenged but also successful in attaining their personal goals.
Academic Course Requirements
Every student at BVT is required to enroll in four years of English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Career Enrichment, and Electives. The Career Enrichment courses consist of activities designed to develop 21st-century skills that enhance career readiness and employability. Elective courses are intended to supplement a student’s core academic and technical studies and should be in concert with the student’s four-year and post-secondary plan. Please note that some courses may not run during a given school year due to student interest and/or teacher availability.
