Village School Admissions for K-6 students living outside of the North Bennington Graded School District
The Village School is an independent Pre-K through Sixth Grade school dedicated to providing dynamic educational and cultural opportunities for the North Bennington Graded School District (NBGSD) and the region. We welcome families who live outside of the NBGSD to apply on a tuition-basis. The Village School has rolling admissions year-round, space permitting.
All interested families are encouraged to apply for admission regardless of ability to pay. A financial aid application is available upon request. If financial aid is needed, it is determined by the family’s ability to pay, as well as the funds available at the time of application.

Application Process:
The Village School reviews inquiries for students in grades K-6 as they are received. Space permitting, interested families are provided with an admissions application. Once an application and the student’s records are received, the review process typically takes about two weeks to finalize.
Kindergarten applications are also accepted on a rolling basis; however, spaces fill quickly during the prime admissions period, which takes place between January to April for the following school year.
Tuition and Financial Aid:
The Village School’s annual tuition for the 2026-2027 school year is $22,418 per student. Tuition is set each year by the Board of Trustees and the North Bennington Graded School District and approved by district voters.
All interested families are encouraged to apply for admission regardless of ability to pay. A financial aid application is available upon request. If financial aid is needed, it is determined by the family’s ability to pay, as well as the funds available at the time of application.
A non-refundable tuition deposit of $250 is required at the time of enrollment, and this deposit is deducted from the total tuition. The Enrollment Contract provides all information regarding tuition payment options.
For questions regarding tuition and financial aid, please contact the Village School Admissions Coordinator, Sherry Schwarz, at 802-442-5955 or sschwarz@vsnb.org.

The Village School is welcoming to all students. The Village School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, nor national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission and enrollment policies, scholarship programs, and other school-administered programs.
