A New School in Miami
An extraordinary education for the life your child is capable of leading.
Verae Valores is a new nonprofit school being established in Miami by families who believe education should form character, intellect, physical health, faith, purpose, and responsibility.
Every student should be known deeply and prepared deliberately.
What We Believe
We believe education should develop the whole person.
Verae Valores exists to prepare young men and women to enter the world with conviction, discipline, compassion, and competence — within a small, deeply engaged community where every student is known personally and challenged fully.
The Individual Pathway
A child’s ambition is examined, developed, and matched with the discipline it requires.
A child who dreams of traveling to space
Should encounter mathematics, physics, aviation, engineering, and the people working at the frontier of those fields.
A student who aspires to compete at the highest level
Should receive exceptional coaching, physical development, nutrition education, and disciplined preparation.
A student who wants to build the next transformative company
Should be given the opportunity to design, create, lead, fail, and build again.
A Day at Verae Valores
A rhythm built around attention, rigor, health, faith, and purpose.
A rhythm, not a rigid schedule — the specific shape of each day is still being designed together with our founding families.
The World Briefing
What happened, where, who is affected, why it matters, and what remains uncertain.
Rigorous Academics
Disciplined inquiry, exceptional writing, and preparation for demanding work ahead.
Physical Training
Strength, conditioning, and nutrition education, treated as essential to formation.
Faith & Reflection
Time and space for religious formation, accommodated for each family's tradition.
Mentorship & Purpose
Time devoted to each student's personal formation plan, with educators and mentors.
Service
A continuing part of every student's education, built on lasting relationships.
The Model
Built from the world’s most respected institutions — without becoming a copy of any one of them.
Verae Valores studies the world’s finest schools, then goes further: placing the family at the center of educational partnership, protecting childhood, and treating physical health, faith, and service as essential to formation.
Internationalism & institutional pride
Individualized learning & mentorship
Disciplined inquiry & leadership
What Makes It Different
Not merely preparation for the next institution. Preparation for life.
A childhood not governed by a screen
A campus free of personal smartphones and social media. Each morning, students take part in a world briefing — informed, not consumed.
A serious plan for every child's ambition
Every student receives an evolving personal formation plan built around their own abilities, interests, and developing sense of purpose.
Opportunity matched by responsibility
Community service is a continuing part of every student's education — built on lasting relationships, not isolated events.
Families with a real voice in the institution
A structured process ensures serious family concerns receive serious consideration, with decisions documented and principled.
Character matters more than wealth
Admission on character, alignment, and need. Every admitted student receives the same education and the same standing.
Built to endure beyond its founders
A nonprofit institution. No private distributions. A defined portion of resources supports charitable work beyond our walls.
The Vanguard Identity
Every admitted student becomes a Vanguard.
The name is not a marketing label — it is what the school calls every student who is admitted, regardless of how their education is funded. No student is publicly identified by scholarship status. Every Vanguard receives the same education, the same mentorship, and the same standing.
Every Vanguard should leave the institution prepared not only to pursue an ambitious life, but to use that life in the service of others.
The Founding Circle
The first families will not simply enroll after the school is built. They will help build it.
The Verae Valores Founding Circle brings together a limited group of parents, future parents, and community leaders who share this vision, and will help shape the school’s founding charter, governance, and traditions from the beginning.
Participation does not purchase control over the institution or guarantee admission. It carries something more serious: the opportunity to help create a school intended to endure for generations.
