About Validus

Validus Prep is a new small public high school dedicated to academics, health, and fitness. Validus Prep opened in September, 2005 with 108 9th graders. Today, we have 440 students in grades 9-12 and will graduate our first class this year. In September, 2006, we moved to a brand new school building on Bathgate Avenue between Claremont Parkway and 172nd Street.

Validus Prep is partnered with Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB), an organization that has been working to create dynamic schools across the U.S. for many years. For more info about ELOB, go to our Partners page or visit their website at:

The mission of Validus Preparatory Academy is to develop students who understand the importance of health and fitness, who demonstrate the character traits of Responsibility, Collaboration, Compassion, and Commitment and who achieve mastery in academics to prepare them to be successful in life after high school.
