About Us

Our Vision

Guided by the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, we empower our students to become lifelong learners who are confident and qualified to assume their individual roles in society,  choose to advocate for positive change in the world, think critically, are accepting of diverse viewpoints, and are well-rounded individuals in body, mind, and spirit. 

We strive to grow skilled members of society from the ground up.

Our Core Values

Integral to Montessori philosophy, we expect all Valor Montessori community members to uphold our five core values: learning, respect, hard work, peace, and community.

Our Mission

We work to fulfill our vision by:

Curriculum

Creating an intellectually rigorous,  interest-driven, interdisciplinary curriculum that meets the standards for graduation set by the state of Ohio, allows for student choice, is relevant to the lives of our students, and serves the needs of our diverse community of learners.

Experience

Incorporating experiential and outdoor learning through field studies, using tools to build and create, gardening, and practicing environmental stewardship.

Diversity

Preparing our students to thrive in a world rich in diversity by establishing a safe, respectful, multi-age community that celebrates the uniqueness of each individual and their contributions to our school and the wider community. 

Challenge

Coaching students to view their areas of challenge as opportunities for growth as they strive to become the best versions of themselves while acquiring valuable real-world skills for their chosen post-graduation path. 

Discourse

Conducting Socratic seminars using texts from a variety of cultures and perspectives, fostering a desire to better understand the universe and our place within it through respectful discourse.
