Welcome to the Community & Family that is Village Gate Children's Academy!

Village Gate Children's Academy is new to the Southern California region. We are a small, private Kindergarten and Elementary Program based on the teachings and philosophy of Maria Montessori. Our extensive experience and knowledge of the elementary-aged child, allows us to create a learning environment that sparks the child's imagination and fosters their innate love of learning. Our programs are designed to optimize the individual learning styles and needs of our students by creating individual lesson plans and an environment filled with materials and learning opportunities. Our classrooms are a beautiful balance of individual activities and the cultivation of a classroom community.

Although, we relate to each child as an individual, we remain committed to ensuring state and national academic standards are met. Our curriculum is rich in Mathematics, Language, Culture & Geography, Science, Botany & Zoology and History. In addition, we offer art, music and technology with a physical education that includes weekly swimming & yoga.

We believe that partnership is vital to a successful learning environment. Partnership between home & school, between teacher & student and amongst our students. We believe that a common language between home & school with regards to discipline and problem solving is important. Therefore, our school follows the Redirecting Children's Behavior model of discipline and we ask our families to do the same.

As you explore this site, it is our hope that you are left with a taste of what Village Gate Children's Academy stands for, believes in and provides for the students and families that come here.

Any person whose journey has led them through Village Gate Children's Academy will tell you that, in addition, to the excellent education and the strong foundation that is developed in each child, the most outstanding quality of Village Gate Children's Academy is the strong sense of Community! This community runs deeply throughout the school and is one with a common goal... a goal to provide the best possible environment for our students to be able to grow and continue to develop their sense of themselves & the world around them. It's true that it does take "a village to raise a child". Village Gate Children's Academy embraces that notion and lives it as a core belief and value.
