Valor Academy founder and school leader, Hrag Hamalian, was featured in an article in the Nov. 5 edition of The Boston College Chronicle profiling his efforts in starting a college prep charter middle school in North Hollywood.
Some excerpts from Hrag's interview:
On the relationship between charter schools and traditional public schools:

On what makes Valor Academy attractive to parents:
Parents love the idea that we believe each and every one of their students will have the opportunity to attend college, and we prepare their students not only with the skills necessary to make this happen, but also the tangible reality of what it will take for them to get there.
