The high school years are deeply formative: this is a time when girls and boys become young women and men. They will turn their gaze outward with ever greater intensity seeking to find their place in the world. Moreover, they will look to their peers and the broader community (teachers, coaches, and mentors) not only for guidance but for affirmation and identity.

It is hard to underestimate the importance of this stage in your child’s upbringing...

• Who will be their teachers and coaches?

• What questions will fill their minds and hearts?

• What is the vision of life that will be cast for them?

• What books will they read and discuss?

• Who will their friends be, and will their families share a similar vision of life as yours?

• What ethos will infuse competitive sports and extracurricular programs?

These are a few questions we invite you to ponder as you consider high school options for your child.

Valor is a vision-driven organization. Current and prospective parents who have 8th grade students are eagerly invited to learn about Valor’s distinctive vision and how it infuses every aspect of our high school program. Students will have their own program during a school day, so this night is just for parents. We will share our curriculum, including our unique Integrated Humanities Program, college counseling, wilderness expeditions, extracurriculars, athletics, special events, and uniform updates.
