Student Life
Small School. Big Lives.
Picture a morning of focused project work, a midday training session, an afternoon rehearsing a pitch — and an evening volunteering with your best friends. Life at Valor Heights is full of quiet moments, wonder, confidence, and purpose. Our students run global service campaigns, publish their own writing, and build a community defined by 'All for One, One for All.'
Life at the Heights
Six Ways Students Spend Their Days
Academics
A mix of self-paced online learning and hands-on, real-world projects — rigorous, personal, and connected to life outside school.
The Arts
Visual arts and creative work woven through the curriculum. As Picasso said: "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
Athletics
Elite soccer through Valor Heights at GFI, plus cheer, volleyball, swimming, weight training, and general fitness — with physical therapist–supported recovery — built right into the school day.
Clubs
From student government to creative workshops, students lead the organizations they care about — and learn what leadership actually takes.
Internships
Hands-on experience with real companies, mentors, and projects. Students step into professional rooms years before their peers do.
Service
Through local partnerships and meaningful acts of kindness, service is a habit here — anchored by our ChangeMakers program.
Our student council is a member of the National Association of Student Councils.
ChangeMakers Program
Real Service. Real Impact.
ChangeMakers is a core program woven through the school year. Students choose causes, design campaigns, raise funds, and report results to real stakeholders. They work with global organizations like Operation Smile, Malala Fund, Days for Girls, Waves for Water, Rise Against Hunger, and local partners like Montgomery County Food Bank.
Student Voices
From First Draft to Published
Valor Heights students write for real audiences. They publish blog posts, author books, and build portfolios of work that carries their name. Their voices tell the best story of this school.
