Mission

Ourmissionis to create a child-centered community

of active learners where each child can and will
succeed in ways that reflect his or her own unique
aptitudes and interests. The Village Charter School
affirms that every child has a right to a quality
education and that high academic standards must be
set. At The Village Charter School, children will develop
critical thinking skills, learn to communicate effectively,
feel a sense of well-being and live responsibly in an
atmosphere that promotes tolerance and empathy for
others. In this endeavor, we seek to unite parents,
teachers and the community in the common pursuit of
excellence.
