Vale School-Community House is a historic one-room school located at Oakton, Fairfax County, Virginia. It was built about 1884, and expanded with a second room in 1912. It is a one-story, two-room, wood-frame building on a stone and concrete foundation. It has a gable front with overhanging eaves, and topped by a belfry with its school bell. Also on the property is a contributing a well built in 1951 and the former location of a privy constructed in 1884. The school closed in 1931, and was reopened as a Community House by the Vale Home Demonstration Club in 1935.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
