Publications

At 826 Valencia, all of our students are authors. 826 programs always end with a finished product, such as a book, newspaper, magazine, or podcast.

Through this project-based model, we see great leaps in our young authors’ confidence, pride, and connection to the writing process.

This page features publications from our most recent school year. You can find older publications here.

Our students’ imaginative and thoughtful writing is under 826 Valencia copyright. If you wish to use it, please email partnerships@826valencia.org.
