The Village School draws from time-tested educational philosophies that honor how children naturally learn.

Influenced by John Dewey, Montessori, and Waldorf education, and inspired by schools such as The Children’s School (Oak Park, IL) and Tahoe Expedition Academy (Truckee, CA), our approach emphasizes:

• Learning through experience
  
  

• Integration across disciplines
  
  

• Respect for developmental stages
  
  

• Purposeful, meaningful work
  
  

We believe learning is most powerful when students can see how their work connects to the world beyond the classroom.

To cultivate curious, capable, compassionate learners who know their God-given strengths, think critically, serve their communities, and are prepared to engage meaningfully with the world.

We chose the name The Village School intentionally.

Children thrive when they are surrounded by consistent, caring adults, trusted peers, and families who share responsibility for their growth. Education is not something that happens in isolation — it is a communal act.

At The Village School, families grow alongside their children.

We envision a school where:

• Learning is relevant and impactful
  
  

• Children are known deeply
  
  

• Families are active partners
  
  

• Faith, curiosity, and purpose are integrated
