We move beyond the traditional tools of lectures, homework, high-stakes tests, and grades. Welcome to The Village School.

Our whole-child approach empowers children to be in the drivers seat of their own learning as they learn to learn, learn to do, and learn to be. Our innovative learning design challenges each child with their own differentiated learning plan and equips them, through real-world projects and experiences, to uncover the talents that will transform them into leaders positioned to make a difference in the world.

Our Story

After spending over a decade teaching in traditional schools, I’d had enough.

During this time, I observed many of the disheartening elements that I had come to expect in a traditional classroom: disengaged students, a “one-size-fits-all” curriculum, constant high-stakes testing, and an immense amount of wasted time and lost potential.

At the time of my mounting frustration, our two young boys were becoming increasingly disengaged in their traditional classrooms. It seemed we were both square pegs trying to fit ourselves into tiny round holes.

These children, my children, deserved better.

Fueled by frustration and a sense of urgency, I began researching school models that honored a child’s unique talents, passions and curiosity; that didn’t judge but empowered and strengthened, honing thinking and building character. My search led me to a network of smaller innovative and cutting edge schools – often called “micro schools”- and became inspired to create our own: The Village School.

We designed our school to empower learners to work independently on core skills (reading, writing, math) and give them rich opportunities to work collaboratively on real-world projects. We’ve made sure to allow children the autonomy they need to thrive (so kids can go to the bathroom when they need to, stretch their legs when needed, grab a snack, etc.) Most importantly, we’ve created an environment where children get to be leaders- of themselves and their communities.

We believe we have found that better way.

I hope that after learning about The Village School, you will send your children and delight in what they can do and who they can become. No more square pegs and round holes. Together we can reinvent education for a better, brighter future.

Sincerely,

Lauren Quinn, M.Ed
