A Message from the Head of School

As the Head of School, I am grateful for the privilege of working in a profession where I can express my passion - the education of children. God has called me to service in the area of children's ministry in education, and it is very fulfilling. It continues to be a thrill to see the children run (or be carried) down the sidewalk each day with enthusiasm for learning and growing in a supportive Christian environment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop ethical values, promote academic competency and foster enthusiasm for learning.

Our Vision

Educating the child's mind, body, and spirit through Christian values in an ever-changing world. In order for the mission of the school to be accomplished, we use the whole brain learning methods in a Christian community.

Christian Education

As The Village School is a Christian program, children are given many opportunities to experience worship, prayer, and daily practice of Christian teaching. Teachers model the values that the school emphasizes through Christ Skills. The skills form the base for the discipline model. Instead of a formal Code of Conduct with rules and consequences, the teachers make a covenant with the students to do their best to live up to these standards, with the concepts of grace and forgiveness emphasized.
