Top of the class
A world-class community like The Villages takes a world-class team of dedicated individuals who create, nurture, operate businesses and serve the community. We know the importance of a quality education and the peace of mind it brings.
Since its opening in August of 2000, The Villages Charter School has been an A rated Charter-in-the-Workplace school, helping attract top employees to The Villages and to local businesses that serve the community. Enrollment at The Villages Charter School is available to students whose parents qualify through their place of employment.
With future growth and initiatives on the horizon, expanding school and housing options for those who support The Villages community became a natural next step. The Buffalo Ridge campus continues to serve students from early childhood through 8th grade, and the expanded campus in the heart of Middleton includes a second early childhood and K-8 center and serves as the new home of The Villages High School.
