The Village School (2026 Profile)

6201 Washington Blvd
Arlington, VA 22205

The Village School Photo #1 - Learners in Spark Studio spend 50% of their week playing outside, rain or shine. Studies show that, by contrast, conventional kindergarten classrooms are sacrificing the discovery and critical thinking skills that arise through play in favor of academics.

The Village School is a research-based, project-focused independent school. Instead of standardized tests that reward rote memorization of facts, our learning design nurtures each child's wonder, creativity, and innate desire to learn.

School Notes

School should be a place where each child thrives, discovers their passions, and finds their purpose. The Village School is a research-based, project-focused independent school. Instead of standardized tests that reward rote memorization of facts, our learning design nurtures each child's wonder, creativity, and innate desire to learn.
We place young people at the center of their education by giving them agency in their learning. Guided by a team of talented educators, committed families, and community mentors, Village School learners are encouraged to discover, through hands-on and real-world experiences, what they can individually contribute to the world around them.
