Welcome to VCS

FROM JEN MITCHELL, HEAD OF SCHOOL

When Village Community School’s founding Head of School wrote the original proposal for VCS in 1969, she declared that “challenging children to become lifelong learners” would be “the central goal of the school.” For more than 50 years, VCS has fulfilled this goal, igniting students’ curiosity and equipping them with the confidence to design their own ambitious futures.

At VCS, children are known and appreciated as individuals. They develop a strong moral character and a sense of responsibility for themselves and their community. Continually stretching toward the realization of their fullest potential, students become comfortable taking intellectual risks and making mistakes within the context of supportive classroom communities. They graduate as confident, self-aware young people well prepared to succeed in high school and beyond.

We look forward to sharing our unique K-8 journey with you.
