Access. Invite. Empower.
Inspired by the energy and enthusiasm generated by our Career Exploration events, financial literacy courses, scholarships for graduating seniors, and college investment accounts for kindergartners, we are expanding our horizons. These initiatives have already transformed the lives of many students and families, equipping them with the knowledge and resources needed for a brighter future.
We are working to broaden the range of experiences for our students, both on and off campus, to ensure they have access to opportunities that reflect our core values every day.
Conceived to provide students an opportunity to access a high-quality education, Value Schools is committed to broadening horizons and fostering equity. The Value Schools Foundation works with leaders throughout our community to find new and exciting ways for donors and friends to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students – by sharing their professional insight and talent with young people eager to learn.
Our aim is to expand our students’ horizons and imaginations while providing opportunities where they see themselves succeeding in education and in life.
- Career Exploration provides opportunities for interactive, on-site experiences where youth actively engage in and learn from leaders in their field.
- Financial Literacy courses, 529 student education investment accounts and college scholarships make it possible for students and families to plan for and envision their futures from the time they enter kindergarten.
- Leadership Training and the support of our Chief Academic Officer position helps ensure alignment to educational goals across our campuses, and stronger recruitment, retention, and development of our educators.
- Back East Scholars Trip (BEST) introduces students to colleges and universities on the East Coast and empowers them to imagine attending institutions of higher learning.
- Base Camp provides mentorship opportunities while challenging students to develop their potential.
- Senior Retreat gives students time to reflect on their life experiences, relationships, and goals for the future.
- Trips to Washington, D.C., Catalina Island, Griffith Observatory, and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens enlighten students and families.
- Art, music and theater programs help students find new ways of understanding and making meaning from their experiences.
