Frequently Asked Questions

A community-powered career development program.

No. The Village is not a public school, private school, cyber school, homeschool program, or educational institution. Families remain enrolled in and responsible for their chosen educational path. The Village provides academic support, mentorship, community, life-skill development, service opportunities, career exploration, and social connection.

Absolutely. Many students attend The Village after school, on evenings, weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer while remaining enrolled in their current traditional school.  If they prefer a more customized academic or extracurricular schedule, we can help them to transition to a cyber program.

Yes. The Village is founded on biblical principles and regularly studies the New King James Version (NKJV) Bible.

Student safety is our highest priority. All staff, mentors, volunteers, drivers, coaches, instructors, and adults interacting with students are required to maintain all applicable background checks, child protection clearances, and screening requirements. Additional safety policies govern supervision, transportation, emergency procedures, and student protection.

Transportation options may be available for certain programs, activities, Loops, field trips, and community experiences. Details vary by location and program availability.

The Village is free for students.

Rather than charging tuition or membership fees, we invite families, businesses, churches, and community members who believe in the mission to support The Village through voluntary tithes, offerings, sponsorships, service, and partnerships.

You can support The Village by volunteering, mentoring, praying, serving, partnering as a business or church, providing opportunities for students, sponsoring programs, or contributing financially to help us serve the next generation.
