Founding Family Program – Limited Availability
As a Founding Family at Valor, your partnership helps shape the culture, traditions, and programs of our school from day one. Families who enroll before September 2026 are recognized for their early commitment with a tuition benefit for the 2026–2027 academic year. This program also provides exclusive opportunities to give input on school traditions, uniforms, and priorities, and to enjoy priority access to the Head of School and leadership team. Availability is limited by grade level, ensuring a close-knit, intentional community for our inaugural families.
Families who may be interested in learning more about the Founding Family Program are encouraged to contact our Admissions Team for a personal conversation about enrollment and opportunities.
