The Village School Application and Process

Parents of prospective students are encouraged to attend an open house or schedule a tour of the school in order to learn about The Village School’s philosophy, approach, and structure.
Interested parents then schedule an in-classroom observation followed by a brief tour of The Village School. We recommend that this first visit, if possible, be without your child, so that you may focus on the approach and features of The Village School.
After your visit, you may submit an application (with a non-refundable application fee of $50.00).
An interview will then be scheduled between the parent, child, and the School in order to determine if the Village School provides an appropriate match for the child. This interview, an in-class visit (for Kindergarten age and above), and an evaluation of the student’s records are used to determine appropriateness of placement. New students are accepted based on availability of open positions in the respective programs.
Application to the School does not guarantee placement.
Registration
Registration for incumbent families occurs first. This will take place in January 2016 for the 2016 – 2017 school year. This phase in the registration process determines the number of available positions for new students. New student interviews and registrations commence subsequent to incumbent registration.
