SUPPORT VALOR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Help Build What Comes Next
Valor International School opened its doors in Yokohama in April 2026 with a vision to provide excellent, Christ-centered education for Japanese, bicultural, and international families.
As a new school, the early years are about building a strong foundation—for students, teachers, programs, facilities, and the systems that will allow Valor to grow well. Friends of VIS exists to help make that possible.
Your gift helps provide the resources Valor needs to grow and serve students well—from educational materials and classroom resources to staff development, student opportunities, and scholarships.
Your Gift Helps Build a Strong Foundation
1
Invest in Excellent Teachers
Great schools are built by great teachers. Your support helps Valor recruit, equip, and develop educators who bring both expertise and heart to the classroom—creating the kind of learning environment where students are known, challenged, encouraged, and inspired to grow.
2
Create Meaningful Learning Experiences
From hands-on projects and field experiences to classroom materials and enrichment opportunities, your gift helps students learn by doing, exploring, creating, and connecting what they learn to the world around them.
3
Expand Access
We want a Valor education to be within reach for families who share our vision, regardless of their financial circumstances. Your support can help provide scholarships and financial assistance that open doors for students who might otherwise be unable to attend.
4
Build for the Future
Valor is growing thoughtfully, one grade level at a time. Your support helps us establish the systems, programs, resources, and facilities needed to grow a strong school community today while laying the foundation for the years ahead.
WHY IT MATTERS
We believe education shapes more than what a student knows. It shapes who they become.
At Valor, students are growing academically, personally, relationally, and in faith as they learn to see the world with curiosity, compassion, and purpose. We believe a Christ-centered education can help young people discover their gifts, develop strong character, and grow into people who lead with compassion and serve others well.
When you give to Friends of VIS, you are helping build the foundation for that kind of education in Japan.
Raising up lionhearted people who lead with compassion to impact cultures and nations.
