Class Information + Program Options
The Village Community School of Sarasota is a homeschool enrichment program designed in the style of a micro-school. We provide a supportive environment where enrolled homeschool families can learn together through shared classes, field trips, outdoor play, and hands-on experiences that cultivate real-world skills and a foundation in the Word of God.
VCS offers a unique option for families who want the flexibility of homeschooling while benefiting from a collaborative “village” environment. It serves as a meaningful bridge between traditional homeschooling and a micro-school model.
Our program includes core instruction in Math, Reading, and Writing/Language Arts, along with Foreign Language, Art, and the life skills and extracurricular opportunities that make VCS distinctive.
All interested families must complete an Enrollment Packet and participate in an interview with our Director. Interviews may be conducted in person, by phone, or via Zoom.
The Enrollment Packet answers many common questions and outlines important details such as tuition, scholarships or discounts, volunteer expectations, and more. Please review the packet carefully, and feel free to email us with any additional questions.

Class Structure
School is Monday-Wednesday with a Tutoring Option on Thursdays.
Core Academics (every morning): Level-based, not grade based
-
Math

Reading

Language Arts
We are an enrichment program; our studies and curriculum encompass a wonderfully broad range, but parents are expected to continue to home school their students to progress them to the next grade level, as well to cover subjects that we simply don't have the time to cover.
Students will take an entry assessment on core subjects. Those results, along with parent notes and observations will determine their entry level. Students can change levels throughout the school year, should the student progress rapidly, or a need arises.
