ABOUT

Welcome to our website! I am thrilled to share my journey as a parent and Head of School here at The Village School of Naples.  From the first moment we visited The Village School campus, it was evident that this school was special, providing an environment where students feel supported, safe, and excited to learn. Our children fell in love with TVS, and we are proud to be part of a community that welcomes all families. I encourage you to explore the rest of the site and visit us to see firsthand why we call this place home.

Sincerely,
Dr. Dennis G. Chapman
Head of School
