Social Studies

Experience History

At The Village Charter School, we believe that history is fun and exciting!  By learning from the past our students will be better prepared for their future. The Village Charter School uses a real world, interactive approach that brings history to life.  Students are able to experience history through a variety of creative teaching methods such as mock elections, mock government processes, and reinactments of historical events.  As we study local, state, national and world history our curriculum is enhanced by the study of literature, autobiographies and the use of technology.  

Community Service

The Village Charter School focuses on community of service and humanitarian projects in all grades providing students with the opportunity to apply their understanding of, and contributions to, the world around them.

U.S. History

Additionally, at The Village Charter School there is an emphasis on U.S. History.  We belive that as students study the founding of our country and functions of the United States government, they cultivate a sense of patriotism and responsible citizenship.  Additionally, each day begins with the Pledge of Allegiance.
