Why Choose The Village Academy?

At The Village Academy, we offer more than education—we nurture the whole child through a developmentally rich, nature-based curriculum rooted in wonder and discovery. From journaling by the pond to harvesting vegetables in our garden, learning is active, joyful, and deeply personal.

Our expert team includes credentialed educators and licensed professionals in speech, occupational therapy, behavior, and mental health—ensuring each child receives the support they need to thrive.

Set on an 8-acre ranch, our campus invites children to care for animals, explore nature, and grow in every sense of the word. Through our Nourished by Nature program, we integrate fresh, seasonal meals with hands-on nutrition education that supports healthy development at school and home.

At The Village Academy, your child is seen, supported, and celebrated—growing not just academically, but as a whole, thriving human being.

Enrichment

Enrichment isn’t an add-on—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our program is intentionally designed to support whole-child development through immersive, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and deepen learning. Whether children are building forts under trees, collecting eggs from the chicken coop, or journaling by the pond, every moment is an opportunity for discovery, connection, and growth.

We offer integrated therapeutic enrichments—including Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Applied Behavior Analysis—delivered by licensed professionals who work closely with our teaching team. These supports are thoughtfully woven into the daily rhythm of the classroom, making them accessible, natural, and impactful for children who benefit from additional guidance.

From outdoor exploration to social-emotional learning and our Nourished by Nature food and wellness program, every aspect of our day is crafted to enrich the mind, body, and spirit. Our enrichment-based approach ensures that learning is not only developmentally appropriate but also deeply meaningful, joyful, and personal.

Spirituality

Our Christian faith is the foundation that guides our approach to education, community, and care. We believe that every child is uniquely created in the image of God, deserving of love, dignity, and purposeful nurturing. This belief shapes how we teach, how we serve, and how we walk alongside families.

Faith is not a separate subject—it’s gently woven into the daily rhythm of school life. Through prayer, worship, storytelling, and reflection, children learn to see God’s presence in the world around them—in the changing seasons, in acts of kindness, and in the beauty of creation. Our values of compassion, stewardship, gratitude, and grace are lived out in both word and deed, creating a culture where children feel safe, seen, and deeply loved.

We aim to cultivate not only curious minds but also tender hearts—encouraging children to grow in faith, character, and a lifelong sense of purpose rooted in God’s truth and love.

Our Roots

The Village Academy was born out of the heart and mission of Acorns to Oak Trees, a Native-owned nonprofit committed to restoring the village for Native American children and families. Grounded in the belief that it takes a village to raise a child—but also a village to restore one, the organization champions the "Restore the Village" movement. Our academy reflects this vision by providing a nurturing, whole-child environment where education, nutrition, and culturally responsive therapies come together to support healing, growth, and thriving. We strive to honor and extend the mission of Acorns to Oak Trees—creating a place where every child is seen, supported, and surrounded by a village of care.

Integrative Approach

An integrative school is designed to support the whole child by blending education with therapeutic, developmental, and emotional supports—all within the school environment. Instead of separating academic learning from essential services like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or behavioral support, integrative schools weave these elements into the daily classroom experience. At The Village Academy, this approach means that children receive what they need, when they need it, from a team of educators and licensed professionals working collaboratively. Learning is not one-size-fits-all, and integrative education ensures that each child’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs are met in a cohesive, natural, and nurturing way.
