The total project costs are estimated at $20M. We plan to phase the project starting this year and will proceed to the next phase as soon as funding allows.
Phase One: Renovate the space to relocate the Rhetoric & Logic Schools, offices and converting green space to outdoor classrooms and trails.
Phase Two: Remodel additional space to move the Grammar School and build out a competition gym. Improve outdoor areas to provide athletic training space.
Phase Three: Add a Fine Arts wing and purpose-built classrooms, a chapel/performing arts center and add aesthetic improvements to the exterior of the property.
Valor Partners,
What an incredible season we find ourselves in at Valor Preparatory Academy! It is both humbling and exhilarating to witness how the Lord continues to move through our community as we strive to develop passionate disciples of Jesus who know the true, do the good, love the beautiful, and are prepared to courageously influence culture for the glory of God.
Today, I am thrilled to share a historic milestone with you. For the first time in our eleven-year journey, Valor Preparatory Academy stands on the threshold of owning our very own campus—completely debt-free. This is no ordinary campus. Situated strategically in the heart of the greater Waco region, our new property spans over 18 beautiful acres and offers more square footage than we ever imagined. This location not only provides geographic accessibility to all but also allows us to expand our reach and deepen our impact.
Renovating this space will be transformative for our community. Our students and staff will finally have the elbow room they need—within classrooms and across campus—to learn, fellowship, and grow together. This expansion positions us to welcome future families who share our values and are equally committed to raising the next generation for Christ.
Beyond meeting the immediate needs of our community, the additional square footage allows us to lease space to various tenants, creating an avenue for increased sustainability and affordability for our school. This opportunity not only strengthens our financial foundation but ensures that Valor remains accessible to families for generations to come.
Perhaps most exciting of all, this campus is our forever home. Never again will we have to search for space or worry about relocating. This property firmly roots Valor in the heart of Waco, providing a stable foundation from which we can continue our mission with boldness and joy.
As you consider partnering with us financially, we do not take lightly the trust you place in us. Your generosity is an investment in eternity, and we are committed to stewarding every resource in accordance with Valor's mission and vision. Thank you for considering a partnership with us in this Kingdom work. Your gift would not only shape classrooms but also hearts and minds, equipping students to shine brightly for the glory of God.
Please know that my door is always open. Should you have any questions or simply want to hear more about the exciting future ahead, don’t hesitate to call me directly at 254-447-7216.
In His Grace,
Wes Kanawyer

There are several ways you can partner with us in bringing Valor’s future home to life. The first, and most important, is to pray with us! This project can only be accomplished through the Lord’s guidance and His abundant provision. We invite you to join us in praying for His leading, that He would guide us according to His will, go before us, and make the way clear for this vision to become a reality.
To celebrate what He has already done, let’s reflect on the past year. In February 2024, the Valor community gathered for a night of prayer and worship, asking the Lord for more space to grow and fulfill the work He had for us. Now, one year later in February 2025, we are rejoicing in the gift of the Bosque Square Village property—debt-free! He has already done amazing things, and we are excited to see what He has in store for the future.
After seeking the Lord, below are some ways you can financially invest in this project.
Gifts of cash are immediately available for use in capital projects and can be made via cash, check, credit card or wire transfer.
Benefits:
