Why Is There a School System in The Villages?

You might be surprised to learn that The Villages—known as a 55+ active-adult community—has its own school system! But here’s why: The Villages needs teachers, doctors, nurses, store managers, restaurant staff, and recreation professionals to help keep this amazing community running. Many of those folks have school-age children—and they deserve a great place for them to learn and grow.

That’s why the developer built The Villages Charter School, a top-rated system serving students from preschool through high school. It offers strong academics, sports, and family involvement—all right here in our hometown.

Villages residents love supporting these schools, whether through mentorship programs, sports boosters, or cheering at Friday night games. Go Buffalo! 🦬
