About
STUDENT LIFE
Village Glen believes that a good education involves much more than just providing a strong academic program, their student life at Village Glen is just as important. Our students learn by doing, and at Village Glen students are given the opportunity to participate in various non-academic activities which support and enrich their classroom experiences. Some of these activities include field trips, choir, athletics, the arts, student council, robotics, College Fridays, participation in a community art show and community service. These activities, combined with the academic program of Village Glen, provide our students with the tools to develop into well-rounded young people who are ready for life beyond Village Glen School.

ATHLETICS
Village Glen students are offered specially designed physical education on a daily basis. We introduce playground activities to students in small groups. This allows students to explore and practice various movement concepts, sports-related skills, cooperative games and social skills. Physical education can play a big part in the development of our students not only physically, but socially as well. All students use a variety of age-appropriate equipment so that they have multiple opportunities to practice skills. As skill level develops, students begin to understand the relationship between correct technique and practice. Students learn team games such as basketball, volleyball, baseball, football, tennis and hockey.
Village Glen High School is a member of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) that competes with other schools in a variety of sports which has included basketball, track and field, flag football, softball, soccer, and volleyball. Students can earn credits while competing on one of these teams. These sports activities not only involve the team participants but also engages the entire school leading to tremendous school pride and spirit. Nothing on campus matches the enthusiasm that is brought to the school by having a basketball game on campus. Go Knights & Eagles!

STUDENT COUNCIL
Village Glen is proud to offer a dynamic, empowering Student Council experience for grades 9 through 12. Students taking part in Student Council at Village Glen gain many benefits from their participation including deepening their sense of duty to their community, developing a voice as a citizen, learning to work in a group dynamic within a real life model, and advocating for themselves and others. Elections of officers and grade-level representatives are held in November each year.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
For more than two decades, Village Glen students in grades K-12 have partnered with the Milken Family Foundation to be of service to their community. Over the course of a school year teachers and students embark on a mission of service where each classroom identifies an area of need or way that they can contribute, locally, nationally or internationally. Throughout this year-long partnership, students develop a sense of service to their community, begin to effect change, and develop a sense of ownership of the world around them.
