Located at the back of the campus, the garden provides students an opportunity to put their life science education into action.

Students in elementary school are required to have 200 minutes of Physical Education every 10 days. Physical education is a combination of structured activities and lessons on nutrition and healthy living. Depending on the teacher or the provider, students participate in a variety of sports, dancing, calisthenics, and other activities to get them up and moving. 

Enrichment opportunities develop the whole student, providing knowledge and context for the world around them. Students at Village participate in various enrichment programs.
