Re-Enrollment for 2026-2027 Now Open!!
Re-Enrollment for 2026-2027 Now Open!!
We just opened up re-enrollment for the 2026-2027 school year for all current families!
If you have a current student who will either be returning, or not returning, please let us know as soon as possible by logging in to the Family Portal and either enrolling, or selecting "Will not re-enroll."
We have waiting lists already in several grades and while we would love to see everyone return, if you know your student is not coming back, it's helpful to us to know as soon as possible, so we can plan to give that spot to a waiting family, if needed. Your student's current place in the next grade is secure up until the enrollment deadline of January 31st, 2025. To do this, please follow these steps:
1. Log into Renweb at this address: The District Code is VPA-TX: https://logins2.renweb.com/Logins/ParentsWeb-Login.aspx?
2. Click on "Apply/Enroll" on the left hand side of the home page
3. Click "Enrollment/Reenrollment"
4. Click the button that says, "Click here to open Enrollment"
Next to your student's name under Packet Status, click "Start Enrollment Packet" and then proceed in filling out the enrollment packet following the prompts given. You will have to do this for each child, but most of the information is pre-populated and shouldn't take very long to complete.
Please note that there is a $210 non-refundable enrollment fee per student.
If your student is not returning to Valor next year, please click "Will not Re-enroll” as soon as you know.
After careful consideration and recommendations from our Finance Committee, the Board has approved modest tuition adjustments in response to rising operational costs. Our commitment remains steadfast in providing affordable education while nurturing the growth and excellence of our school.
Tuition Rates for 2026-2027
PreK and Grammar School: $7,234
Logic School: $7,699
Rhetoric School: $11,166
Scholarship Opportunities
The scholarship application for current families is now open with a deadline of January 15th.
For the best experience, use either the Enroll icon on the Valor App, or a desktop/laptop computer to complete the forms on Renweb. Please let Bethany Brown know (Admin@ValorPrep.com) if you have any issues with the enrollment process or any questions! Thank you!!!

Boxes for Bosque! In preparation for our Phase 1 move of the Upper School and assorted offices to Bosque Square, we're collecting sturdy, medium sized boxes that will be used to pack up the spaces (think copy paper boxes being best case scenario, but we'll take any!). Please bring any boxes you would like to give to the front office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and to Bosque Square on Tuesdays from 3-4pm. If they can be flattened first, that's great, but if not, we'll take them as-is. Thank you!!!!!

Parents, our lost & found is overflowing! Please ask your kids to take a look at the waterbottles, lunch boxes, clothing, and curriculum that we have gathered in the green wagon. We want your students to retrieve these expensive items. Ask them to take a look if you are missing items at home. When we begin our Thanksgiving holiday, we will dispose of all items in the lost & found.
As we are moving into cooler weather (finally), students are wearing their Valor fleeces, sweatshirts and quarter zips to school. Please label these clothing items – as our days warm up and they take off these extra layers.

The possibilities are limitless, and we look forward to reading your entries! The submission portal deadline is 6 p.m. Central time, on Monday, January 26, 2026. There are three categories of competition: grades 4-6, grades 7-8, and grades 9-12. First-place winners receive $300. Second-place winners receive $200, and third-place winners receive $100.
