Educational Approach
The early years are an optimal time to inspire the joy of learning.
That’s why we take such care to give students an intentional, experiential and relational introduction to the world of education — in a way that integrates play and fun!
Each day in the Village School begins with a morning meeting where we use mindfulness to create and maintain a stable and inclusive community. Kicking off the day with a predictable gathering — featuring surprising topics — usually inspires laughter and connection. We make sure the Village School is a safe, supportive place where questions and sharing are encouraged, collaboration is natural and feedback is personalized for growth.
This welcoming environment sets the stage for our expert educators and specialists to engage students through a well-rounded curriculum. Every day features time for math, reading, writing and social studies. Physical education is four times a week, and special subjects such as STEM, robotics, art, music and Spanish each receive dedicated time throughout the week.
With each passing year, students are given more of the knowledge, cognitive skills, confidence and curiosity they’ll need to maintain a positive and joyful relationship with learning.
