The positives of the school are that they offer fresh food, goats and chickens, a beautiful garden, and the cleanliness of the facility. For a long time we were proud to be part of the family, but the last three years we've seen a noticeable decline in both the daycare and the lower school. The lack of administration often led to little communication with families. Curriculum seems lacking and now that my kids are in another school, they are behind in basic Florida school standards. My child in daycare when asked for extra work to do as they were bored was told to just sit there and wait for their friends. When they acted out, out of boredom they were sent home. Make sure to read their student handbook as while we were there, this was in the guidelines. My child is excelling in another school and is finally understanding teachers aren't supposed to give up on you, but try to help you grow. In our experience they often used prayer instead of action to try and change behaviors. Prayer has its place, but sometimes actions and plans are needed with prayer. We came up with many plans that were not used with teachers after they were created for more than a few days. There are some amazing staff and teachers, but there are some that will just do the bare minimum. There was a lot of turn over in classroom teachers. Once we started questioning the village and addressing problems, the owner started ignoring us or walking away. Comments were made by teachers and I was concerned for my child's safety. It felt like my children had targets on their back once we made our concerns known. In some positives, the dean of the daycare and extra teachers in the daycare are caring, intelligent and care about the kids. The assistant teacher my child had for years in K-8 was our saving grace. My goals for the school was for my children to be safe, learn, and be ahead of their peers in Florida public schools. They ended up lacking and behind. Overall, it's an ok school and our experience may not be your experience, but I've talked with many other parents having the same concerns afraid to speak up still at the school or those that have left the village. We pray they find their way back to being a family focused dedicated to the kids school, as those years were amazing.

The founders of the school had a vision for this place of learning and it is clear to see how the school, administration, teachers, and staff are meeting the needs of the local community. I wish Creation Village had other locations across the country so my kids could attend!

What a blessing to have my children attend this school! The teachers are like a family and the effort they put into the student’s IB education is exceptional. Very exciting to see the journey the school has been on and the direction it is going. Highly recommend to anyone Pre-K 3 through high school!
The early years program at CVWS is top-tier. Every single teacher and staff member treats the students as their own children-- greeting them by name, looking out for them on playground, and helping get them to and from class. Students are provided a breakfast snack, lunch, and afternoon snack and have circle time to begin the day. This is when the foundational lessons are laid & the integration of the IB Learner Profile occurs. The Units of Study focus on social-emotional learning, exploring, and play. All learning is conducted through play at this stage, and the stations & centers are filled with open-ended activities to develop a child's fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, & collaboration with others. There is a rotating schedule for art, Spanish, music, and theater, so the students are exposed to different forms of expression as well as a variety of safe adults from a very young age. The outdoor environment provides a safe space to explore & connect with nature & animals.
This is an amazing school and environment for the kids to grow up, develop their own character and build their skills with confidence. I am a proud mom and member of this Village since 2016 when my 2yo started there, she is now 10 and this is her place.
This school has been a great blessing to our family, the love, care dedication that the teachers have for the children is unmatched. We have been highly impressed with the level of education that our children receive.
An amazing school, this is how I can describe what Creation Village is for my family. The school has exceeded my expectations. The communication with the teachers is excellent. Staffs are lovely, they are always there to help you. May God all bless all of their project yet to come.
There is so much to love about Creation Village World School. We have been a part of the school for five years (from pre-school to 2nd grade), and each year gets better. Perhaps, the thing we love most is that the school and the IB approach it embraces aims to enhance students’ flourishing in all ways! Not defined by outdated standards and assessments, the school cultivates a holistic educational experience – building on children’s competencies and increasing their confidence, bringing in global perspectives and connecting the dots, and truly enhancing their engagement, learning, and social relationships. This is also thanks to the amazing teachers and staff – who truly love the children and go the extra mile. It feels like family from the first day of school. It’s hard to find a school like this one!
