The Village School

The Village School is a holistic, arts-integrated K-8 elementary and middle school that was founded in 2000 as one of Oregon's first charter schools. With a curriculum which incorporates Waldorf methods, the Village School provides a program that fully integrates the arts within an academic curriculum, educating the whole child—head, heart and hands. Movement, Handwork, Music and Spanish language classes are an integral part of the student's educational experience. We offer a unique educational experience that is unlike any other public school in this area.
