I really love Villa. I've been there for going on eight years, and they've been the best eight years of my life. The teachers are fantastic, and really care about the students, not just in an educational aspect either. The girls are wonderful and after being with certain girls for so long, you end up becoming a family when you finish. I really and truly LOVE Villa and I'm so happy I have been given the opportunity to attend Villa for so many years. I have faith that the next two years of my high school career will be just as fantastic, if not better. Take it from a student, Villa is a great place to be! :)

Villa Victoria Academy is a great school! They teach solid english, math, science and music without all the fluff. They develop creative, morally guided thinkers and doers within society. The girls that graduate from VVA are confident problem solvers that welcome a challenge. VVA is faithfully Catholic, and as faithful catholics, the staff and administration embrace all faiths. I am a graduate and a parent of a graduate. Some of my classmates are doctors, scientists, psychologists, mathematicians, artists, musicians, and good moms. Our money was well spent at Villa Victoria!

When my daughter first started Villa Victoria Academy in the lower school, she was a timid, shy little girl. The teachers at Villa challenged her, and help build up her self confidence. She formed many great friendships with the wonderful Villa girls. My daughter is currently attending Villa's High School and I have no doubt that she is receiving a first class education. Villa's rigourous college prep curriculum has landed many of its graduates into the colleges of their choice. Villa Victoria Academy is a well run school with strong leadership and excellent teachers. I am so glad we chose Villa for our daughter!

My daughter, who is now in high school, has been at Villa since Pre-K. She and the girls in her class grew up like siblings, close knit and absolutely loyal to one and other. I know that in Villa she has made lifelong friendships. The teachers have, in my experience, been very caring and committed, quick to detect and correct incipient flaws and warm in their praise. The school administration too are dedicated to creating strong, confident, independent girls who care about their contribution to the world. The main reason we chose a glrls' school was to give our daughter an educational environment that would nurture her self-esteem while giving her a strong education. I think in Villa we made the right choice.

Villa is a remarkable school, deserving of the highest praise and honors. The reviewer who claims there is a bullying problem in painfully unaware of the fact that her daughter was the only bully in the school. Now that she's gone, the disruption and drama she created have diappeared. Villa has returned to it's status of haven to the young women of astounding character, debth and substance. All schools could learn from the way that problem was handled.

My daughter currently attends Villa Victoria Academy, and I truly believe that this is one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made. Villa s rigorous college prep curriculum well prepares its students for higher education and beyond. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about the education and growth of each student. The camaraderie of the girls is a joy to see. They are sisters in every sense of the word, and there is no doubt in my mind that they will be friends for life. I highly recommend Villa Victoria Academy to any parent seeking an education of the highest quality for their daughter.

Don't be fooled by the size of the school, it really means less than 30 girls per class! It means poor class choices, no teacher options, lacking technology and no place to hide from the pervasive bullying that exists between classes and in class. The administration is blind to these issues and inexcusable mistakes have cost this once proud school. Many other quality options in the area.

I have an only daugher and I would not trust her to any other school. I am an educator and I know exactly what I am looking for. The school offers challenging academics, character development, and a nurturing environment. They encourage the girls to be independent thinkers and to strive for excellence. If you have a daughter and you want her to have an education that will allow her to be successful in life, Villa is the school.

Villa Victoria is an absolutely remarkable school. From Pre-K through 12th, there simply is no better way to provide your daughter with every opportunity and advantage a school can offer. Girls receive a solid academic foundation beyond comparison. More important, however, is the development of 'self'. At its core, Villa is about becoming a balanced, responsible, unique and concerned citizen who understands the individual's role in humanity.

Villa Victoria is a school of supreme excellence. Each student's talents always shine. The high school women of Villa Victoria are poised, intelligent, and have a great understanding of their faith. The individual attention that each student receives is rare. Because of the small size of each class, your fellow classmates become your fellow sisters and your teachers become your friends. Villa Victoria is not only one of the best schools in its area, it is truly, one of a kind.

Solid classical curriculum but little support or attention to the needs of the individual.
