Global Village School
Global Village School offers a progressive, accredited, customizable K-12 homeschool diploma program via online and text-based curriculum, complete with individualized teacher services. Our courses integrate peace, justice, and diversity studies with the core subjects. We are an international school; we welcome students from around the globe.
Our values include peace, compassion, justice, sustainability, community, integrity, appreciation of diversity, caring for the Earth and our fellow beings, creativity, and living an authentic and meaningful life.
Our approach is creative and flexible. We believe that students learn best when they are fully engaged in their studies. We encourage self-directed learning rather than trying to make everyone study in the same way. We customize curriculum based on student interests, needs, and learning styles. We believe in engaging students in studies that inspire inquiry, encourage communication, and foster cooperation. We endeavor to support the development of thoughtful, compassionate and aware people who will provide a constructive and hopeful foundation for future generations.
Our students are a diverse group coming from many different regions and backgrounds. Some choose us because they are budding young activists yearning for a school that supports them in their concern for the world. Others select us because their former schools were not able to meet their individual needs and learning styles. Many have been given various diagnoses such as ADD, ADHD, etc., yet they flourish in our supportive homeschool environment. Some want a more challenging curriculum; others wish to be free to work at their own pace, or to have time to focus on passions such as art, music, theater, and sports. Some students experience harassment at school for one reason or another; they choose to homeschool with Global Village because we provide a safe, affirming environment that supports them in being who they truly are. We have a group of American Indian students that are homeschooling because it allows them to learn and experience their cultural traditions in ways that they could not if they were locked into a rigid school schedule. A wide variety of families and groups have found our values to be compatible with theirs, such as Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists, families with Indigo children, families that have enjoyed Montessori and Waldorf schools, and others.
