Vermont Village School

The village as our multi-generational classroom


What began as a mission to reimagine school as a liberatory space for children of color in Vermont has ex p a n d ed as we co-create infrastructure that depends on one another - no matter how young/old, rich/poor, white/BIPOC, homeless/housed, sick/well - and most importantly - no matter where you fall between any and all defined identities.

We continue to practice centering our most vulnerable villagers as we build liberatory spaces for all to thrive.

Together we cultivate:

  • Interdependence over independence

  • Collectivism over individualism

  • Intergenerational over ageism

  • Timelessness over urgency

  • Individuality over conformity

  • Indigenous and ancestral wisdom over white supremacy culture

  • Collaboration over competition

  • Abundance over scarcity

  • Fluidity over rigidity

  • Expansiveness over exclusivity

  • Solidarity over division

Join us in this joyous work of co-creating what’s next as the existing systems - and the identities used to systematically divide us - collapse around us.
