Valor students read and discuss the Great Books, take advanced math and science courses, study Latin, engage meaningfully with their external community, care for plants and animals, explore the fine arts, and have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular clubs and competitive athletics. In conjunction with rigorous academics, Valor is committed to building a transformative school culture filled with joy, respect, and deep engagement.
