The First CiRCE Village School 

A model for communities interested in opening a village school. 

Our Philosophy

We believe education is the cultivation of wisdom and virtue by nourishing the soul on truth, goodness, and beauty by means of the seven liberal arts. We believe students thrive when taught according to their individual readiness (whatever their age may be) and when taught to mastery. We believe grades distract students from true learning. And we believe children show more maturity and independence when learning in a setting with a wide array of ages. That is to say, we believe in the traditional—lost but not forgotten—village school. 

Age-integrated Learning

The CiRCE Model Village School integrates all students in one dynamic, adaptable classroom. Two teachers attend to the needs of the students, breaking them out into smaller groups according to each child's abilities and maturity. Groups change throughout the day, so your six-year-old may do a dictation exercise with those her age, then go outside for a nature study with all the children, and then play math games with a few kids of a variety of ages. In each subject and each task, your child is taught what they are ready for—not what their age might suggest they should be able to do.
