History
Village Academy Schools was founded under the Learning Unlimited International Schools system in the fall of 1976 as a year-round preschool and kindergarten. The original campus was established directly across from to the Ohio State University. Over the next thirty years, the program expanded to become an independent preparatory school for students in pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. In 2006, the school was re-branded as Village Academy Schools, which consisted of Village Academy (Kindergarten-Grade 12) and the then-named Village Junior Academy (for pre-kindergarten and young kindergarten).
In the fall of 1990, the first phase of a 7-acre (28,000 m2) campus, Village Academy, opened in Powell, Ohio. In 2011, the pre-kindergarten and young kindergarten programs re-joined the main campus, following the completion of the Griffin Hall building.
On July 16, 2019, its board of trustees announced the school would be closing on July 19, 2019, due to a decline in enrollment and withdrawal of contracts.[5]
