Welcome to East Village Community School
The East Village Community School is a small vibrant school community that offers its members a supportive educational environment, as well as a curriculum of excellence in human thought, feeling, and action. It was founded on respect for children and the creative and collaborative spirit critical to a democratic society.
The school's educational philosophy and approach to teaching and learning focus on the development of the whole child through a hands-on integrated, experience based curriculum. Essential skills are taught in meaningful ways that are related to the children's schoolwork and lives.
The school's goal is to teach children how to use their minds well. This means teaching children how to learn and how to think critically and creatively with others, about themselves and the world around them. The school's humanistic and social constructivist approach to teaching and learning creates an environment in which everyone — children, teachers, and parents — feels valued and respected as learners.
