Valor Collegiate Academies is a network of three top-performing, tuition-free public charter schools in Nashville serving students in grades 5–12. Families with rising 5th graders can begin exploring Valor as they prepare for the important transition into middle school and look for a strong academic and whole-child environment.
Since opening in 2014, Valor has built a strong reputation for academic achievement, whole-child development, inclusive community, and preparing students to lead inspired and purposeful lives.
Valor’s school model is built around four core anchors: Powered by Compass, Top 1% Academics, Diverse by Design, and Built to Last. The Compass model places human development at the center of the student experience, helping scholars grow academically, socially, emotionally, and personally.
Valor students benefit from rigorous academics, strong teacher relationships, competitive athletics, enrichment opportunities, and a school culture designed to help every student thrive.
A key part of the Valor experience is Circle, a guided practice that gives students time to slow down, reflect, connect with classmates, and build trust. Circle helps students strengthen their sense of identity and belonging while learning to listen, support others, and participate thoughtfully in their school community. Valor reports that 84% of students say Circle helps them learn new ways to help their friends, 80% say it helps them feel less alone, and 83% say it helps them become better people.
Valor also intentionally brings together students from different backgrounds and communities, creating opportunities to learn from one another and build meaningful relationships.
