Small School with a Big Heart
Village School is an independent, democratic primary school
Our primary school is located on 8 acres of bush in Croydon North in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne and provides a varied educational experience for children aged 5 to 13. We delight and inspire young children to be resourceful, independent learners, and to explore and learn in a supportive, caring environment.
Village School celebrates individual differences and encourages children to develop an awareness of their place in Australian society and the global community.
