VILLAGE SCHOOL

Village School is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Eugene SD 4J school district, located in Eugene, OR with about 225 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Village School has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Village School, located in Eugene, Oregon, is a tuition-free public charter school serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Founded on the principles of Waldorf education, the school emphasizes a holistic approach to learning that integrates rigorous academics with artistic, practical, and social development. Its curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child, placing a strong focus on experiential learning, creative expression, and building a deep connection between the students, their community, and the natural world.

Beyond its academic program, the Village School is known for its inclusive and collaborative environment. By fostering a close-knit "village" atmosphere, the school encourages parental involvement and values a partnership between families and educators. With a commitment to social-emotional growth and cultural awareness, the school aims to prepare students not just for high school, but to become compassionate, critical thinkers who are actively engaged in their community.
