Bright Star Valor Elementary School

The project involves the construction of a 35,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility for Valor Elementary, designed to be both affordable and first-class. This new campus will provide 540 permanent seats for students in grades TK through 4th, featuring 28 classrooms and a multi-purpose building equipped with a servery. Additionally, a historically designated house on the site will be preserved and integrated into the campus, serving as administrative and support space.

Valor Academy within Bright Star Schools will accommodate approximately 552 students from grades TK (Transitional Kindergarten) to 4. The proposed site for the school, which includes an existing house designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, will be repurposed for administrative use within the school. The project entails rehabilitating the existing house and constructing a new two-story, wood-framed building. Key features of the new school include:

  • 27 classrooms, including 3 specialty classrooms
  • Administration office space
  • Multipurpose room
  • Outdoor play spaces designated for different grade levels
  • Onsite parking for 49 vehicles, with pick-up and drop-off facilities within the site
  • Bicycle racks for short-term and long-term parking
