Welcome to Valour JK-12 School! Our school is a proud member of the Renfrew County District School Board, located in Petawawa, Ontario. Our building hosts roughly 1300 students from kindergarten to grade 12, and we’re a learning community that is dedicated to fostering a culture of student success, well-being, and achievement.
At Valour, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a successful education. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a community where students feel seen and supported, and where the excitement of growth is sparked each day. We are deeply committed to developing the whole child and ensuring that our school is truly a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone.
We recognize that every student’s journey is unique, and we’re dedicated to promoting a collaborative and inclusive learning environment where success is defined by each learner’s individual goals, strengths, and passions. We provide a learning atmosphere that supports students in their chosen pathway while maintaining high academic expectations.
Valour staff are committed to empowering students with the transferable skills that are required for them to be successful in adulthood. We emphasize inquiry-based education, utilize rich learning activities, and promote the integration of emerging technologies to support the development of critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration skills. Our continuous staff collaboration and professional learning ensure that we guide each student toward the successful achievement of their life goals. We are also proud to respect and celebrate our local community’s bilingual culture and embed robust character education within every classroom experience.
We also recognize the immense importance of developing strong community connections within the town of Petawawa and with Garrison Petawawa. We appreciate the unique nature of being a part of a military community, and we strive to work with families to ensure that they and their children feel supported. When students feel they belong, are understood, and are surrounded by people who believe in them—staff, families, and community partners—they thrive both personally and academically.
Together, we will create citizens who will shape our community to be one of respect, care, empathy, and activism. Together, we will help all of our students find success in our world. Together, we will create our future. Valour Strong!
