What makes Global Village School unique?
Founded in 1999, Global Village School (GVS) is a unique homeschool and private school hybrid. GVS offers a WASC accredited, highly personalized K8 enrollment program and high school homeschooling option where students earn a diploma via largely self-directed distance learning. At GVS, the world is the classroom, and enrolled families have regular access to seasoned social justice minded teachers all along the way.
GVS empowers parents around the world to provide an inspiring, enlivening, relevant, and engaging educational experience for their children. There is ample opportunity for students to pursue their own interests while getting a world-class education - literally. We dedicate ourselves to nurturing the well-being of children, families, communities, and our Planet Earth. Our secular curriculum integrates self-knowledge, social justice, and sustainability studies with the core academic subjects.

Homeschooling support for families impacted by Covid-19
Real homeschooling is not doing “regular” school at home. It’s not about your child sitting in front of a computer screen for hours at a time, wrestling with the same rote tasks, worksheets, and assignments as everyone else. If you have gotten a taste of the benefits of distance learning but have a sense that there could be so much more, you are right! If you want to learn how to homeschool in a more creative, holistic, and relevant way, we’re here to help.
"The parent and faculty partnership draws from a huge educational tool bag, pulling out strategies that best meet the individual learning needs for each subject area, at each development level, and for each family context."

A wide variety of families and groups have found our values to be compatible with theirs. We have enrolled Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists, secular homeschoolers, LGBTQIA+ families, families that have enjoyed Montessori and Waldorf schools, unschooling families, students dedicated to self-directed learning, families centered around acting and sports achievement, students living abroad, and families who are international travelers.
Our families include students with learning and life challenges that several GVS parents have affectionately referred to as "alphabet soup," such as ADD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, and PTSD, alongside dyslexia, and dysgraphia diagnoses. We have students who are highly creative, those who are academically advanced, some who are shy, and others who are outgoing. Most are passionate about life-long learning and making the world a better place. We work with students who have moderate to severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, and autism.
If any of this sounds like you, dive into the details of our K8 homeschool enrollment program, or our high school homeschool enrollment program.
If you don't need the services of an accredited private school at this time in your lives but are intrigued by our offerings, you can also purchase secular, social justice oriented curriculum to use on your own.

Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that,
because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
