About
The Village School is an independent elementary school located in north central Mass., serving preschool through the 6th grade. Our curriculum is nature based and hands-on. Classes are small and learning is cooperative and individualized.
The Village School was founded in 1989 by a group of local parents. In 1998 the school acquired the Camp Caravan campus to build its new home, which was completed in 2018. Located on 55 acres including forest, pond, streams and fields, the school takes full advantage of this quiet rural campus for hands-on learning that often takes place outside. Learning is a quest and a cooperative process, with an emphasis on Growth Mindset. Children are guided towards independent responsibility and building self confidence through regular do-able challenges.
