Where children grow with freedom, purpose, and wonder.
Welcome to Forest City Village School!
At FCVS, we nurture each child’s natural passion for learning.
Forest City Village School is a developing Montessori Forest School where children learn through curiosity, movement, and meaningful work. Our environment blends Montessori principles with daily outdoor exploration so children grow at their own pace with confidence and joy.
Located between the St. James Park and the James Memorial Public Library, FCVS offers rich opportunities for nature based play, community connection, and hands on discovery. These experiences deepen classroom learning, cultivate independence, and help every child develop a strong sense of belonging and place.
