The Village School of Naples Appoints Communications Coordinator

The Village School of Naples, an independent school serving students in Preschool through 12th grade, announced the appointment of Viktor Tuparov as Communications Coordinator. In this newly created position, Tuparov will assist the school’s leadership with its internal and external marketing and communications needs.

Tuparov is a recent graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) in Fort Myers, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a concentration in public relations. While attending FGCU, he served as Secretary of the Student Chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association. Before joining The Village School of Naples, Tuparov worked for The Inn on Fifth as a Sales and Marketing Intern and Reservations Manager.

Tuparov has been involved as a member of the Southwest Florida Concierge & Guest Services Association and volunteered with the Collier County Public Schools District.

Located at 6000 Goodlette-Frank Rd., The Village School of Naples originally began as The Caring Place Preschool in 1985 as an outreach at North Naples United Methodist Church. In 2000, the church relocated to the present campus location and added The Village School, beginning with K-2 and 37 students. In 2006, the school was accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools and the Florida Kindergarten Council.

In 2009, parents asked The Village School for a middle school to be added and soon after added the middle school one grade a year to complete the eighth grade. Four years later, the Board of Directors voted to add an upper school division in the fall of 2017. A capital campaign followed, and the new division opened in August 2017 with 17 students.

In June 2020, The Village School celebrated its first-ever graduating class of seniors with a class of 12 students. For additional information, visit www.villageschoolnaples.org.
