See the VALOR STATEMENT OF FAITH here
VALOR is a Christian, Classical homeschool cooperative that supplements other homeschool curriculums and seeks to “fill in the gaps.” Some families use Valor as their primary curriculum and supplement with additional books as needed. Other families attend an additional homeschool program plus Valor. Because Valor introduces students to so many ideas and concepts every week, these students are able to excel in their other groups because they are adding to prior knowledge they first gained at Valor. Or they are reviewing ideas at Valor they learned in other programs, helping them to achieve mastery in their learning.
Each week we meet as a school for the morning assembly where we sing a hymn and memorize a verse in the Bible. Then students are separated by age categories where they learn the following subjects: world history, math, science, literature (assigned books, spelling words, plus studying chosen poems, speeches, essays, and short stories), geography, etiquette, art, finance/economics, Greek and Latin root words, and logic. Some of these subjects rotate, and we have three cycles in which we cover the sciences of earth science, chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, anatomy, and life science and a comprehensive world history from Creation to the present. Instead of in-depth science and math courses, core concepts are introduced and reviewed, while students continue to do the bulk of their math and science at home.
The VALOR leadership structure is similar to the board of elders in a church, with the “founding moms” making more important decisions as a group. Individual moms or smaller groups of moms have responsibilities called “lanes,” in which they make smaller decisions and lead in their lanes. The lanes include such things as the schedule, some curriculum choices, hymn choices, individual class content, cleaning of the building, interviewing and admitting new families, and finances.
VALOR works with the end-goal in mind: to raise Christ-like students who are well-equipped for success in both academic and spiritual matters. In academics, to be prepared for success with standardized testing (such as the ACT, SAT, and AP tests), to have a good understanding of world history, world economics, and the foundations of science, and to be knowledgeable in multiple branches of learning. (Dan. 1:4) In spiritual matters, to exercise godly character that strives to honor all people, is able to give an answer to everyone that asks for a reason for the hope that is in them, and that excels in diligence and love for God. (1 Pet. 2:17, 3:15)
