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.
