02 — Purpose & Individual Calling
A serious plan for every child's ambition.
Every child enters the world with distinct abilities, interests, responsibilities, and aspirations. Verae Valores takes those aspirations seriously.
Aspirations Taken Seriously
From an early age, students explore what they may be capable of becoming.
A Child Who Dreams of 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 a Company
Should be given the opportunity to design, create, lead, fail, and build again.
The school does not promise that every ambition will be achieved. It promises that no serious ambition will be dismissed merely because it is difficult.
The Personal Formation Plan
An evolving plan, built with the people who know the child best.
Each student receives an evolving personal formation plan, developed together by:
The Student
The Family
Educators
Coaches & Mentors
The plan identifies each student’s —
- Interests and abilities
- Academic needs
- Character development
- Physical preparation
- Opportunities for practical experience
A Broad Foundation
Students are never reduced to a single career objective.
Their ambitions may change as they mature, and their education must remain broad enough to allow them to change direction. Every student receives a rigorous foundation across nine disciplines:
Literature
History
Mathematics
Science
Communication
Philosophy
Faith
Physical Health
Civic Responsibility
The objective is to discover what moves them, reveal what excellence requires, and give them the preparation, discipline, mentorship, and opportunity to pursue a life of meaningful achievement.
The Founding Circle
Purpose is formed alongside responsibility, not apart from it.
Community service is a continuing part of every student's education at Verae Valores, not an occasional exercise.
