Parent, Teacher, and Student Testimonials
“A true love of learning is evident from both the teachers and staff so it’s no wonder that my children genuinely enjoy going to school. They are gaining wisdom and virtue in an environment of truth, goodness, and beauty.”

“My struggling son found a nurturing, yet challenging, learning environment that poured into his heart and mind, inspiring wonder and order. The next year, his siblings joined. They constantly recite poems and sing songs they've learned together.”
– Valor South Austin Parent
“Valor saved our son’s education. At our respected, highly sought-after, neighborhood school, he was not challenged and very little learning took place. His senses of wonder and awe were not tapped into. We give thanks daily for the privilege to attend Valor”

“The classical model weaves truth, goodness, and beauty into every fiber of the school experience. Valor fosters a strong sense of tradition, family, and community. Our children feel deeply loved, appropriately challenged, and personally known. We are grateful.”

“This year it has been such a joy to watch my students be transformed by Valor. I have seen them grow immensely in virtue and self-discipline, and they have begun to grasp that we are all working together to become our best. They see a classmate’s victory as something for everyone to celebrate, that they are individuals, but all come together to support each other.”
— Valor North Austin Teacher
“While studying The Merchant of Venice, I was blown away with how animated students became when confronted with the problems of love, justice, anger, and mercy. The way they wrestled with such important topics showed me the great wisdom of the Valor curriculum, mission, and leadership all at once.”
– Valor South Austin Teacher
We encourage each scholar to encounter an idea in a way they have never considered before – from circuits and how a light switch works, to the habitats of earthworms, to the phases of the moon, rock cycle, and Earth’s weather patterns. The sparkle in their eyes as they observe the beauty in the little things is something that will not fade from their memories.”
— Valor North Austin Teacher
“Every day we guide students to encounter extraordinary ideas that have become the taken-for-granted ordinary. Thank you, Valor leadership and staff, for creating a well-orchestrated, aspirational culture for us to learn, serve, and build community… I'm so impressed with Valor faculty and staff and am thankful for the opportunity to work under their leadership.”

“Senior capstone provided space for each person to seek what they were curious about, allowing for an abundance of creativity and passion. My voice and ability to consider things deeply were challenged and refined. I became both more humble and more bold.”
– Valor South Austin Alumna
“I am humbled to receive such a beautiful education. Our teachers genuinely care about us as individuals and we are pushed to fulfill high expectations, and we learn to think for ourselves. This community has helped me grow to be someone I am proud to be.”
