Since 1977, Village School has provided a challenging academic and social-emotional program to its families. Village School enrolls 290 students from our transitional kindergarten (TK) program through sixth grade.
Village School welcomes families from across Los Angeles who share our deep commitment to raising children who are curious, kind, and eager to learn. We look forward to meeting your family during the Admissions process.
Each morning students eagerly to await the opening of the front gates of our Swarthmore campus. Our students are excited to learn, grow, and become the best versions of themselves.
The sense of community permeates every piece of the Village School experience. This is more than evident when you witness the interactions between our students. Our students thrive on the connections they have with one another and with our faculty.
Village School takes pride in the shared commitment we see in our families, faculty and staff, alumni, grandparents and Board of Trustees to supporting our school’s mission.

You may achieve significant tax savings by making your gift via stocks or other capital assets. If you have stocks that have appreciated, your charitable deduction may be based on the full market value on the date of the transfer. If you have stocks that have decreased in value, you may be able to take a deductible loss when you sell the stocks and donate the proceeds.
