Frequently Asked Questions

Valor Montessori is located inside The Hub at the historic Dayton Arcade, in the heart of downtown Dayton. This beautiful and iconic building is home to University of Dayton and is a small business incubator. It is within easy walking distance of the Dayton Metro Library, several museums, galleries, and theaters, Riverscape Metro Park, and Sinclair Community College.

Valor Montessori will operate on a sliding scale tuition model, and take the EdChoice Scholarship into account in our scale.

The range of out-of-pocket tuition costs after EdChoice is applied is from $0 to $13,500, and is based on family income and size.

We would be happy to discuss tuition amounts based on your family’s situation.

We are excited to work with our students to develop after school clubs based around hobbies, academics, and sports and fitness, driven by their interests. Students will participate in their planning and implementation, so these offerings will expand and change organically from year to year as our student body grows.

Preparing our students for all aspects of adult life is the ultimate goal of Valor Montessori. In addition to meeting all standards for graduation set by the state of Ohio, students will participate in job shadowing and internship opportunities, receive personalized college and career counseling, have the opportunity to take College Credit Plus classes through either Sinclair Community College or University of Dayton, learn entrepreneurship skills through the running of a school micro-business while networking with local small business owners, develop electives related to life skills that they wish to learn, and more.

Valor Montessori recognizes that setting high standards and continuous self-improvement are necessary for achieving excellence. We intend to work towards receiving American Montessori Society (AMS) accreditation within six years of opening. AMS accreditation is a multi-year process that schools can begin after operating for three years.

Stay tuned! The Valor Montessori board is putting the finishing touches now on our four year curriculum map and graduation requirements. Our curriculum will meet or exceed all state requirements for a diploma and be aligned with Montessori best practices. We will be adding this information to the website in the VERY near future.
