Valor Preparatory Academy of Waco is a PK-12 Classical Christian school with 467 students. We are located on a charming, historic campus within the city. Valor partners with parents to “form” the individual student as a Christ-follower, in stark contrast to merely “informing” a child through the transfer of information. All curriculum, as well as extracurricular activities, are informed and framed around a Christian worldview. Students graduate from Valor equipped to be effective disciples of Christ and are both college and career-ready.
Why Valor Preparatory?
Christian
At Valor, our devotion to Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of all our actions and teachings. The Biblical call to "Come, follow me" is not merely a scriptural account; it's a living invitation that resonates across our campus and throughout our community.
Classical
Originating from the time of Aristotle, classical education offers a holistic approach to learning. It features an interconnected curriculum, including seminal works of literature, art, and music, along with structured courses in Latin and Logic.
University-Model®
At Valor, we blend family-centric values through our unique University Model, integrating the top advantages of both private schooling and homeschooling into a single, unified approach.
