Founded in 1971, Community School is an independent, non-profit institution. We provide education of the highest quality for children of all racial, cultural, religious, and economic backgrounds.
Community School provides a program that is unique in the Roanoke Valley and a rarity statewide, a haven for those who value experiential education over standardized test results. Our school nurtures children’s individual learning styles and fosters creative and analytical thinking. Our students develop personal responsibility for their education and a passion for learning.
Small, multi-age classes create flexible classroom environments that promote individual achievement and student collaboration. We integrate the arts, Spanish, and technology throughout the curriculum.
Our success lies in our emphasis on students involvement in their own education. Community School moves students from being passive recipients to active participants in their pursuit of skill and knowledge. Research proves that this is how children learn best.

Our curriculum is designed to create students who know how to ask questions, seek information, think critically and analytically, solve problems creatively, and communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
Methodology: We use an experiential approach: students learn by doing and acquire the skills to apply their knowledge in real world situations. Learning materials and activities are multi-cultural, concrete, and relevant to children’s lives. Our curriculum is integrated and interdisciplinary. Students work both individually and in small groups.
The learning environment and lessons are developmentally appropriate to each multi-age grouping. Teachers differentiate instruction based on individual academic and developmental readiness. Children learn to set goals and take responsibility for their own learning. They learn about their role in the greater community through service learning and mentoring.
