Summer At Valor
Summer is a great opportunity for students to expand their academic foundation by taking preparation courses, enrichment courses, or for-credit courses. Valor offers a variety of summer school options, giving currently enrolled Valor students the opportunity to explore areas of interest and possibly add free time to a busy school year schedule by completing a required course over the summer.
2025 Summer Camps
During the months of June and July, we offer a variety of weeklong day camps for exciting experiences in Arts, Athletics, Culinary and STEM. These opportunities are for students ranging from kindergarten through eighth grade.
All summer camps are held on Valor’s 35-acre campus in Highlands Ranch, CO, allowing students to learn and grow in a safe environment with state-of-the-art facilities and encouraging mentors.
2025 Returning Student Summer School
Valor Summer School is an opportunity for students to fulfill graduation requirements, allowing them to add flexibility to their school year schedule.
Online registration for summer school is now open via your Veracross Portal.

Withdrawal from Class
Summer school courses are held in a significantly shorter time frame compared to the regular school year. Withdrawal from a summer school class may be done so with the following understanding:
- Students who withdraw from a class during the first week will not receive a penalty on their transcript.
- Students who withdraw after completion of the first week will receive a “W” (Withdrawal) on their transcript.
- Students who withdraw after completion of the second week will receive a “WF” (Withdrawal Failure) on their transcript, which will be calculated as a failing grade.
- Families are eligible to receive a 100% refund if the student withdraws no later than one week prior to the start of class.
- Families are eligible to receive a 75% refund if the student withdraws within one week, but more than three days before the start of class as long as the spot can be filled by another student. If the spot cannot be filled, families will be eligible to receive a 50% refund.
- No refunds will be given for students who withdraw within three days prior to the start of class or any time thereafter.
