School Mission: East Village Community School children, families and educators are committed to learning through a balanced academic and social curriculum. Students are encouraged to explore their world while building upon their unique strengths, interests, and learning styles.
It is our priority to provide an environment where all children and all families are valued, welcomed, cared for and supported. East Village Community School students learn the importance of community building, social responsibility, and conflict resolution.
Our goal is for EVCS graduates to be confident and kind, academically prepared, and ready to contribute towards positive social change in the community and world around them. School Website
