VALOR ENROLLMENT – Apply for siblings & tell a friend!
The time has come for our current families to help us spread the word about our enrollment application for the 2023-24 school year! Please share with friends and family, and have them apply online at valorenroll.com. This is your time to apply for any siblings entering grades 5-12. Current families DO NOT have to complete another application. You will be notified in the spring to complete re-enrollment forms for your returning scholar(s).
September 15 through October 15 marks Latinx Heritage Month – also known as Hispanic Heritage Month – which honors and celebrates the vibrant histories, languages, traditions, values, and contributions of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
