Weve been thrilled with our experience at village home. Staff is friendly, teachers are super enthusiastic and engaged, classes offer unique experiences and content you cant find at typical schools. The small class sizes and direct teacher interaction has also been a huge benefit to our son. I cant say enough good things about village home!

Village Home is a great fit for us. My son enjoys choosing his own classes. We all like that the classes include kids of varying ages, that grades are not given and that each child is supported and appreciated for who they are. It has been my observation that the teachers meet the kids where each kid is and appreciate where they are rather than try to get each kid to the same place. Learners are appreciated, respected and trusted at Village Home. There are also activities for adults and famlies. It is a very welcoming place.

Village Home has everything I was looking for to give my children a sense of freedom, a love of learning and a sense of belonging. There are a variety of terrific classes to satisfy a diversity of interests. The classes are small enough for a truly personal learning experience. The community is large enough to provide young children, middle age, teens and adults social opportunities. Village Home is a truly beautiful place to be.

Perfect for my kids. Cosy classes and great staff.

Weve been Village Home members for 8 years now, and we cannot imagine our lives with it. My kids have all of their friends there, and so do I, as their mother. I have taught classes, and Ive held board positions, and the yearly camp trips and other events are great highlights we always look forward to. We love Village Home and will be sticking around until the kids move on to college.

Village Home Northeast Campus is the best! My otherwise unschooled child has found acceptance here for 6 years. Classes are fun and individual learning styles and personalities are respected.

I am grateful for my affiliation with Village Home Education Center. When I am near the school, I always see engaged students and teachers working together. I love hearing the cheerful noises of children playing, the studious faces of them learning and the interactions with their environment!

Village Home is an excellent educational alternative to private or public school. I recommend it for homeschoolers who want to learn in a classroom setting, TAG students whos needs arent being met by the public schools, creatives / artists / divergent thinkers, and motivated learners of all kinds. Hallmarks of Village include flexibility, caring, respect, and community. They foster curiosity and love of learning through participatory, hands-on education. And because of their non-bureaucratic operation, they can truly differentiate to focus on and meet the needs of students.

Village Home provides a natural bridge from structured schooling to home schooling. I like that as our schooling choices changed (unschooling through early college and everything inbetween, in no particular order, I might add) Village Home was there with the support we needed. Need a Destination Imagination team? Got it. Love Robotics? Got it. Want to learn how to engineer a radio show? Got it.Even more so, there is a place for the parent to explore their personal learning and mentoring (teaching) styles - if you have a passion offer to mentor/teach a class!If you are considering becoming a homeschooling family in Oregon you should (and I dont use that word without thought) take the time to visit, research and explore the offerings of Village Home. Just the process of taking a visit, sitting in on the parent support group a few times will help you thoughtfully work through the issues and options for your family.

The class curriculum was nice, but the parents and teachers are very cliquey. Any event we felt like they wanted us to leave. People there would often treat my son, my wife, and myself rudely because of the dirt on our clothes, however we are farmers so dirt is unavoidable. We were looked down upon often like we were uneducated or homeless, no one ever bothered to ask about our backgrounds. My son would often leave his class sad because people would push past him like he wasnt there. Not the place to go if youre looking for open minded non-judgmental peoples.

We have been a VH family for a year now and all I can say is that it is a fantastic resource for families. Families may use it however they choose, just dropping in for one class, or taking as many classes as theyd like, showing up for field trips, discussion groups, or just to meet other people who are homeschooling. It is an inclusive and friendly place. I was petrified pulling my child out of school, but VH helped me through the process and was there in case I really needed anything. We are very big fans!

It it wasnt for Village Home, my husband and I wouldnt have had the confidence to pull our son out of school and homeschool. (We experienced a Montessori preschool, public schools in 3 states, and private schools in 2 states.) Not only do they offer a wide variety of amazing classes, but the support from the community is unsurpassed. Everyone is kind, considerate, generous, and helpful, including the kids. We particularly love the theatre program, as Whitney has a gift to not only direct, but also to inspire and encourage ALL the learners to challenge themselves. I also love the other resources everyone has pointed us to, from curriculum, to Fencing, to Destination Imagination. Village Home makes homeschooling extraordinary. From my fifth grade son, Village Home is AWESOME! The classes are great, the teachers are nice, and its easy to make friends.UpdateOur son is now 17, and will complete his AA degree by the end of the school year (still 17). While that is not every kid’s path, Village Home allowed our son to flourish and thrive. Homeschooling is what fanned the flames of intrinsic motivation, and the support from the friends he’s made at VH is invaluable.

The VH model feels like a cross between a community center and a college for kids and is an amazing resource for home schooling families (or as we call it community schooling). Students can take 1 class or 15 (most are held 1 hr/wk for three 10wk sessions). Both of our kids attended VH (as well as our local public schools at different times). They took classes in history, language arts, geography, science, theater, art and everything in between. VH teachers teach what they are passionate about and students are fully engaged. VH families embrace a wide range of beliefs, values and lifestyles, working together to create a really unique educational community.

We love the personalized attention they show to each of our four kids.

Its great.
