Curriculum Of Valor

An Overview

Valor Classical Academy is returning to the curricula, materials, and methods that have traditionally been used to educate young men and women throughout the history of the world. At Valor, you’ll find teacher-led classrooms, low technology, intensive phonics, traditional mathematics instruction, primary source documents and great books, and the development of the student’s whole person - heart, body, mind, and soul.

The Hillsdale K-12 curriculum provides the framework for Valor’s academic program, which emphasizes the core disciplines of math, science, history, and language arts, including phonics, writing, and literature. Music, visual arts, and foreign languages are also studied. Valor’s curriculum emphasizes intellectual rigor, human virtue, moral character, and responsible citizenship.

Curriculum from Hillsdale College

Valor Classical Academy is a Hillsdale College Curriculum School, a distinction that offers our school access to a tried and true K-12 Curriculum from the Hillsdale College K-12 Education Office. Hillsdale College was founded to provide the kind of sound learning necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty. For over 175 years, it has offered an outstanding liberal arts education for undergraduate students. Restoring excellence to American K-12 education is a natural extension of the College’s mission, and Hillsdale has been helping K-12 schools for over three decades. Hillsdale teaches K-12 schools to provide an education that is both classical and American in its orientation; one that is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, offers a firm grounding in civic virtue, and cultivates moral character. Hillsdale’s curriculum, contained in the Hillsdale College K-12 Program Guide, is available to Valor Classical Academy at no cost; it is made possible by the generous support of friends of Hillsdale College.
