The New Village School

The New Village School, a Bay Area independent school located in Sausalito, is redefining education for children from preschool through 8th grade. Welcome to our community of families, dedicated to fostering a nurturing learning environment for our intellectually curious, resilient, and joy-filled students. In its sixteenth year of operation, the New Village School provides experiential and classroom education from kindergarten through 8th grade. Last year, we opened our preschool, the Little Village.

The New Village School is 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 academics, screen-free learning through 6th grade, social & emotional intelligence, outdoor education on our nearby farm, and global travel. Our graduates have a strong sense of self and community. They gain geographical, historical, and cultural orientation and are prepared for high school and life.

Come and experience the New Village School at an Open House or Morning Circle Tour host most Friday mornings at 8:30am. For more information, see Admissions.

The New Village School is committed to embracing families and their children by instilling a culture of inclusiveness within our classrooms and of friendship among students across the grades. As a small school, teachers dedicate 1:1 time with each child, learning how best to develop their unique capabilities through understanding their individual learning styles.

As a community of learners – children and adults – who strive to discover more about themselves, we communicate directly, create a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all, and hold monthly parent evenings to discuss childhood development, parental challenges, or specific class trips. We look forward to meeting you.
