The Village Academy’s Mission Statement

We at The Village Academy care about young people and have dedicated ourselves to mentoring students to become positive and productive young adults by means of an encouraging and challenging educational environment. To that end, we believe the following:

•  All students deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, both by themselves and by others;
• Consistent, reasonable limits and guidelines help students feel safe and secure;
• Verbal and logical rewards for appropriate behaviors reinforce positive behavior;
• Individual interventions and approaches foster mature individuality;
• High academic standards for students help ensure success in society;
• Logical and natural consequences for inappropriate behavior complement modeling and encourage appropriate behavior;
• Curricula must be designed to meet the needs of each student, providing challenge and addressing a variety of learning styles;
• Effective communication with parents or guardians is key in facilitating students’ academic, personal, and vocational success.
