The Village School is guided by the theory and practice of the Montessori philosophy and believes that it is fundamentally important to:

Educate the whole child by recognizing and respecting the physical, emotional, and intellectual individuality of each child.

Nurture in each child creativity, independence, self-confidence, and the joy of discovery.

Provide a challenging curriculum that supports and respects individual learning styles in multi-age classrooms.

Provide well-structured environments, order and orientation in classrooms, proper sequencing of materials, and a consistent educational approach.

Affirm and support the value of family-school partnerships by encouraging active family involvement.

Develop a sense of community in and out of classrooms by encouraging cooperative learning, problem solving, and community service.

Encourage sensitivity and awareness for all people and cultures as well as for the global environment.

Foster a lifelong love of learning.
