School Culture

ABOUT US

Visitors to Village Prep will quickly see that the school environment is focused.  The teachers are passionate and committed, and every minute is used to the fullest.  Although young, our scholars are held to high behavioral and academic standards, and understand that they attend school with college as their long-term goal. All classrooms are named after and decorated as specific colleges (typically the alma mater of the teacher)--a creative way to motivate and remind scholars of their educational objectives.


WHAT SETS US APART

-High level of structure. We engage students every minute of the day with systems that are designed to increase productivity and overall student performance.

-High academic expectations that emphasize academic rigor, clear expectations, and accountable talk.

-Frequent assessment of students to determine which standards have been mastered and which
 standards deserve review and remediation.

-Strong character development that will build and foster responsibility and perseverance.

-An enforced uniform policy. We believe our scholars should dress for success! All scholars are required to wear black pants/skirts/dresses, a white shirt, and a black sweater vest.

-A wholesome, well-rounded schedule. Our scholars are in class from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. and are provided with breakfast, a snack, and lunch.
