Academic excellence
Our students’ results back up Village’s academic success. 

Our Class of 2022 seniors were accepted into 35 of the US top 50 colleges and 12 international universities. They also received over $18.6 million in scholarships, setting them up for incredible careers. Village students who pursued the IB Diploma had an outstanding pass rate of 100% (versus the global average of 79%) and four Village seniors had perfect or near-perfect scores. Our students’ prestigious university acceptances have included Harvard, Brown, Stanford, and UC Berkeley, among others.

From our youngest Early Childhood learners to graduating seniors, our teachers build strong foundations. Our students develop resilience as they become independent thinkers and learn how to achieve their best. With small class sizes, our world-class teachers give your child the personalized attention they need to flourish in and beyond the classroom.

This means they form a relationship built upon seeing your child realize their talents. We prepare students for college early in their education—as soon as 8th grade—where they have regular one-on-one meetings with our College Counsellors.
