Providing Progressive Education Options to the Homeschool Community Since 1999
​

Global Village School was founded to address deep progressive concerns about violence, discrimination, and our endangered environment. We are an international K-12 homeschool program that empowers students to cultivate their gifts and passions by engaging them in a creative, flexible educational process grounded in the progressive principles of peace, justice, diversity, and sustainability. We partner with schools, groups, and individual families to provide the kind of education that prepares students to be wise and capable stewards of the planet.
​

Our Progressive Approach

• We meet students where they are, adjusting our approach to meet their needs.
• We empower students to care for themselves, their communities, and the planet.
• We focus on core academic skills, self-knowledge, and global citizenship.
• Each child is the author of their own learning journey. Students set their learning paths based on their individual passions, interests, and skills.
• We support creativity and connection.
• We provide a personalized, nurturing environment.

​"I have to say you have been absolutely AMAZING, bending over backwards to help me through this transition, even suggesting purchasing from someone else if that would be better for me! In a business first world, you have demonstrated a whole new level of dedication to your parents and children, for that THANK YOU, cannot say enough."

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.

​"I felt I did not empathize safety enough. That was one unexpected comfort we gained with GVS. Reading so many strange stories about what goes on in some schools with teachers and students, I feel secure knowing Derek is no longer exposed to bullying or the temperaments of strange and ill balanced teachers. Derek has gained security knowing and having Sally as his teacher for three years in a row. These young learning years are just too important to trust in the hands of strangers...I find he has opened up more in his writings because of it."
