The ability to learn is a precious gift for all human life. This ability is the single most important ingredient in the lifetime process of defining who we are as human beings. Each human life undertakes a series of personal quests which include learning to express oneself, learning to trust others, learning self-confidence, learning to share, learning to listen to others, and to love. As an integral part of a person’s life, learning sculpts the hopes and dreams of a lifetime. The personal activity of each learner’s own mind charts the course for the individual self-realization and self-development.

Village School is an avenue for young women to find their own voices as learners. We believe that effective self-expression and self-confidence arise out of the mastery of skills. As a member within our learning community each student will acquire the skills of making judgments and defending them. She will learn to listen to others and to form her own opinions. She will be challenged to write effectively and to read texts in search of relationships that wrap meaning around what otherwise is simply information.

The goal of our curriculum at Village School is to provide each student with the tools for transforming information into personal understanding and communicating it effectively. With the combination of small class sizes and a curriculum emphasizing the development of academic skills, Village School is designed to promote self confident, enthusiastic, and responsible young learners. We welcome all young women to come and learn with us regardless of their race, ethnic origin or religious beliefs.
