Class Information + Program Options
The Village Community School of Sarasota is a Homeschool Co-Operative. We provide a facility for enrolled homeschool families to learn together.
​
VCS offers a comprehensive option for families that are new to homeschooling, or want their children to experience hands-on Life Skills like cooking, wood working, gardening, budgeting, auto mechanics and more, while being around other like-minded childrean and families.
Our program includes core education (subjects like Reading, Math, Language Arts) along with Foreign Language, Art and the Life Skills and Extracurriculars that make VCS so unique.
​
All families must fill out our Enrollment Packet and be interviewed by our Director. Interviews can be done in person or via phone/zoom.
​
The Enrollment Packet should answer most questions and highlight topics such as: tuition, scholarships/discounts, volunteer requirements and more. Please read through the packet first and then feel free to email with any further questions.

We will include grades 7-8 starting next year!

Core Day classes are split between two days. Our full program is a 3 day program for students not enrolled in Intervention.

Intervention is small-group tutoring for students who need a little extra help in subjects like handwriting, spelling, reading, math. Students will be quietly evaluated by their teachers when school starts, teachers will then make a recommendation to parents for the children who could benefit from 1:1 time with a skilled Interventionist. Intervention is an additional $150 per month for Co-Op enrolled families. For families not enrolled in one of our programs, Intervention is $350 per month ($21.87 per hour of tutoring--that's a tremendous discount). STEPUP IS ACCEPTED.

Parents are welcome to stay and learn or drop off. Any parent that wishes to stay must submit a Federal and State Background check (directions in the Enrollment Packet) prior to the first day of school.
