About Village Elementary School

VES is committed to providing children in grades three and four with an academically challenging program in a nurturing and supportive environment. Our goal is to teach children to become independent learners and to help them apply skills developed in the primary grades.

The Village School staff, in partnership with parents and the greater Montgomery community, delivers a rich and differentiated program designed to prepare children to succeed as students and to become lifelong learners ready for a changing world.

The focus of our literacy program is to create fluent readers and writers whose command of language is exemplary. In mathematics and science, children flourish in an environment that is rich in problem solving and inquiry. They learn to ask as well as answer important questions.  Children at Village School also have regular opportunities to continue to study art, music, world language and physical education.  A special facet of the curriculum at Village School is the integrated use of technology to support classroom instruction.

Village School has an active and well-integrated social-emotional learning and character education program.  Teachers create opportunities in all areas of the curriculum for students to examine and make good moral and ethical choices and employ the Responsive Classroom philosophy to build positive and collaborative classroom communities. Village School is also committed to developing an inclusive and culturally responsive environment that honors and embraces diverse backgrounds and perspectives. 

Parent involvement at Village School is an important part of the school's culture. Because the PTA provides countless hours of volunteer service, Village Elementary School students are able to enjoy a tremendously enhanced program. We encourage you to become members and participants in our PTA.

Please do not hesitate to contact us directly with any additional questions that you may have. We hope that you have a terrific school year with us.
