Bridget Yoko
Childhood Development Program Director
Bridget received her B.A. in Integrated Studies from George Mason University, her M.A. in Elementary Education from Marymount University and her second M.A in School Counseling from Walden University. She has over 10 years of experience as an educator, primarily as a classroom teacher and advanced academic resource teacher. During her tenure she also performed and presented award-winning research to Fairfax County and George Mason University.
Seeing the system from the inside, Bridget saw how a confluence of issues forces the education system to perpetuate a philosophy that is short-sighted and inequitable. This frustration drove her to explore alternatives, and she discovered The Village School shortly after its founding in 2018. Bridget knows a holistic education must be just that, holistic, holding space for the whole person to recognize their potential and their place in a rapid-paced and ever-evolving world.
