The Village School: Eugene Oregon

The Village School Mission Statement

The mission of The Village School is to provide an education that fully integrates the arts with an academic curriculum, guided by observations of child development that promote the healthy growth of the whole human being – the head (thinking), the heart (feeling), and the hands (willing). Further, The Village School strives to create a community that honors truth, beauty, and goodness and encourages development of the inherent gifts of each school community member.

The Village School is a public charter school sponsored by the Eugene 4J School District. Tuition is free. We serve 225 students grades K-8 . The school follows the inspirations of Rudolf Steiner and other arts-integrated, holistic educational methods. Against the increasing pressures of information technology, the Village School has retained its mission to educate the whole child integrating visual arts, music and movement into traditional subjects. The school was one of the first to adopt the Our Whole Lives curriculum for sex education, and operates a highly acclaimed food program using mostly locally supplied and organic ingredients.
