The future belongs to those who can do what technology cannot.
At The Village School, we develop and nurture your child’s inherent human capabilities—curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking—giving them a distinct advantage in an increasingly automated world. For learners in PreK-8, we provide rich learning experiences that go far beyond rote memorization, helping your child discover not what to think, but how to think, who they are, and what unique gifts they bring to our rapidly changing world.
Three Pillars of Learning
Learner-Centered
Our learner-centered approach is designed to nurture self-directed learners who are leaders of themselves and their communities. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” curriculum, we respect each child’s unique path to growth through a flexible learning plan that allows them to identify, pursue, and accomplish their goals.
Play- and Project-Based
Playful learning is a goal of ours each day, not just for our youngest learners, but for learners of all ages. Research shows play has enormous learning and social benefits across all ages, but, by the time children are in conventional classrooms, they’ve been taught to suppress their natural play-based curiosity. At TVS, kids learn to engage in real-world experiences through material amounts of time at play and creative, hands-on projects. .
Community-Driven
In the TVS community, children work closely with peers on collaborative projects, engage openly with educators on their goals, connect meaningfully with community members, and grow alongside parents who partner rather than direct. This creates an environment where young people feel truly seen, supported, and capable. In response, they take risks, dive deeply into their interests, and develop the confidence that comes from being truly trusted.

TVS Collective Equity Statement
The Village School believes in building collective equity throughout our village by sharing the responsibility of empowering those in our community to achieve their goals and aspirations on their own terms.
We believe that everyone benefits from a community that is made up of a range of perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and beliefs. When differences are embraced and celebrated, each person's value as an individual and as a member of the community is affirmed. To that end, a key feature of our learning design is learning to live together- cultivating respect, open-mindedness, compassion, and a sense of belonging for every learner, family, and staff member.
We believe that this emphasis on character within a culture of inclusion is critical in developing the sensitivity and competency needed to create a more loving and just world.
As a community, we are committed to continue to lean into collective equity and grow our village to reflect these beliefs.
