Charter school

New Village Girls Academy is the first all-girl charter school in California.[1]

The school provides individual counseling services and small group problem solving groups to assist young women in addressing personal and human development challenges. Through reflection in advisory, weekly group discussion, journal writing and expression in drama, art, music and dance, girls have the opportunity to foster a positive emotional well-being. New Village offers students the opportunity to participate in community service in nearby agencies. Young women can learn social responsibility by sharing, giving and volunteering in local health, senior citizen, and early education agencies. Through the David Lynch Foundation students have learned Transcendental Meditation,[2] which has helped students in their daily lives.
