A community-based school for all North Bennington and Shaftsbury District 1 residents…
The Village School of North Bennington is a pre-K through grade six independent school “town academy” located in North Bennington, Vermont. Our educational model is unique and offers students the opportunities of an independent school, while serving a public mission to ensure a quality education for all who attend.
We serve approximately 150 students, nearly all from the surrounding school district, which includes North Bennington and Shaftsbury, District 1. Families living in these districts have school “choice” for K-6 and their student(s) can attend the Village School through tuition paid for by The North Bennington Graded School District (NBGSD).
