Mission and Vision Valor’s mission is to educate the whole person in authentic communities for a full human life. At the heart of every person is a desire to know and to be known. At Valor, we believe a truly human education addresses our deepest longings—to pursue knowledge, to have meaningful friendships, and to grow in wisdom and virtue. We are a community of friends seeking that which is noble and inviting students into that life. A Valor education is about much more than college and career readiness. It is an invitation to live the fullest life possible, one directed by wisdom, animated by wonder, and anchored in friendship. Our motto, Sapientia per Admirationem, speaks to our identity as an institution concerned with the preservation and promotion of wonder. This vision saturates the entire life of our schools, from curriculum and pedagogy to classroom order and special events. 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. Valor’s teachers and school leaders inspire students to pursue excellence in all areas of their lives and reach their fullest potential.
