Valor Academy is pleased to offer Jr. High programs (Grades 6 through 8) in the Sheridan area. At Valor, we establish classroom groupings based on a number of criteria:
1. Student Personalities
We group students together based on personality, strengths, and weaknesses. As they work together, there is a sense of family within the classroom that helps students in their ability to overcome their challenges.
2. Curriculum
Though students may be different ages, sometimes they are doing the same curriculum. We take this into account as we set up each class.
3. Teacher Gifts & Abilities
We work to match students with teachers who have complementary personalities.
4. Group vs. Individualized Teaching
Some students need individualized teaching. Other students can learn in a group. This is taken into account when we evaluate classroom designation.
5. Maturity and Leadership
We arrange classrooms to help facilitate growth, maturity, and leadership among our students. Students at higher grade levels help those in lower levels. In this way, everyone grows and develops skills.
