Our Graduate Profile

By the time students complete eighth grade at The Village, we hope they carry these qualities with them. These descriptors are proposed and will be refined with our community.

Our Graduate Profile: Curious Learners (Curiosity), Confident Explorers (Exploration), Critical Thinkers (Inquiry), Connected Collaborators (Belonging), Responsible Citizens (Responsibility), and World-Ready Communicators (World Readiness).

Proposed descriptors — final profile to come

  1. 1

    Curious learners

    Children who ask questions, wonder aloud, and keep seeking to understand how the world works.

    How it could develop

    Curiosity could grow through daily inquiry, read-alouds that spark questions, science investigations, and projects that begin with a student's own wondering.

  2. 2

    Thoughtful problem-solvers

    Children who persist through challenges, try more than one approach, and reflect on what they learn.

    How it could develop

    Problem-solving could develop through strong mathematics foundations, hands-on projects, and proposed MicroSociety roles where students tackle real classroom-community challenges.

  3. 3

    Confident communicators

    Children who read, write, speak, and listen with clarity — in English and with growing Spanish.

    How it could develop

    Communication could strengthen through structured literacy, daily Spanish, presenting work to real audiences, and collaborating with classmates.

  4. 4

    Responsible community members

    Children who show kindness, keep commitments, and contribute to the people around them.

    How it could develop

    Responsibility could take root through classroom jobs, student leadership, family partnership, and community experiences that show children their contributions matter.

  5. 5

    Globally aware citizens

    Children who appreciate their own heritage, respect others, and see themselves as part of a wider world.

    How it could develop

    Global awareness could develop through Spanish language and culture, social studies, diverse literature, and connections to Atlanta's many communities.

Growing across nine grades

We plan to open with kindergarten through third grade and add one grade each year until we serve kindergarten through eighth grade. That means the graduate profile can grow with our students — from first friendships and first books in kindergarten to leadership and independent projects in middle school.
