The Valor Way

Valor’s highly intentional culture creates a distinctive and enriching experience for the entire Valor community, from the students in our schools to the participants in our Institute programs. In an age of distraction and disconnection, we cultivate an atmosphere of attentiveness and warmth that inspires every person to be fully present and deeply engaged. Our comprehensive approach creates a joyful and respectful environment where everyone can thrive.

We encourage our faculty to adopt a posture that prioritizes the following life values, “The Valor Way,” and we invite our Institute community and our Valor families to cultivate an affection for and commitment to these priorities in their lives.
