"The VCS is identified as a "Charter School in the Workplace" and operated as a Florida not-for-profit corporation. Established through Florida law, charter schools in the workplace are public charter schools with the ability to target a specific student population. Charter schools are public schools of choice. To read more about Charter Schools in Florida, click here. In our instance, the targeted population is the children of the employees.......
.....Student eligibility to attend our school is based upon a three category system. First priority is given to those students whose parents are direct employees of The Villages or The Villages Charter School. We currently have over 2000 employees working in such areas as administration, accounting, education, media, design, and others. Our second category consists of those parents who work for sub-contractors at The Villages. There are thousands of employees who work for our sub-contractors in the areas of home construction, maintenance, landscaping, hospitality, materials, food service, etc. Our third category consists of those parents employed by the businesses located on Villages' property. We have over 400 businesses on property including supermarkets, pharmacies, retail shops, medical offices and restaurants, to name a few."
