History
The Village School of Gaffney was formed in 2002 after a group of interested parents came together to discuss alternative options of education for their
children. The Village School of Gaffney (TVSG) was patterned after the Village School of Spartanburg founded by Rosemary Moore in 1991. Mrs. Moore's vision
was to create a cross-cultural Christian school where children were united by their willingness to work and learn. The curriculum was primarily influenced by
the work of the great English educator, Miss Charlotte Mason, who established village schools in England athe turn of the last century. Miss Mason's academic emphasis
was to put children in touch with nature and classics of literature, art, and music. Her approach was to offer a classical, broad-based curriculum to all
children, regardless of economic or social background. This philosophy has proven successful for more than a century and for over 10 year here at TVSG.
