Community Partners

Learning at The Village School is an active experience that connects young people to the community in which they live and beyond. As our learners enter middle school, the experiences we create have an even broader purpose: to grow each learner’s individual social capital - or what we like to call, their “village.” The renewed focus on young people’s social-emotional health, the idea of a young person’s social capital has caught the attention of education researchers.

The Village School Community Partners program invites professionals in a wide range of disciplines to join our village through a number of partnership opportunities.
