New Village School
The New Village School (NVS) is an independent school in Sausalito, California, redefning education for children from Pre-school to 8th grade.[1]
We were founded by a group of parents and an exceptional teacher in 2009 as a humble one-room schoolhouse at the Martin Luther King Jr. property in the City of Sausalito.[2] We were seeking a different style of education, and we grew rapidly. Our campus expanded to include a preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school. We are indebted to the works of Austrian-born philosopher and visionary Rudolf Steiner. We embrace his idea of a developmental curriculum, a nature-based, arts-imbued, project-based philosophy in which children have time to explore with their senses. We prioritize small class sizes, meaningful and rigorous academics, screen-free learning through 6th grade, social & emotional intelligence, outdoor education on our nearby farm, and global travel. Our holistic educational philosophy aims to instill a strong sense of self and community in our graduates. Through a well-rounded curriculum that imparts geographical, historical, and cultural orientation, we prepare our students for the challenges of high school and the journey of life itself.
The New Village Schools stands as a beacon of progressive education, equipping young minds with the tools to thrive in an ever-changing world while preserving the timeless values of curiosity, creativity, and compassion.
