PRESCHOOL AGES 3-5
Early Learning for Ages 3 - 5
Guided by loving and talented experts in early childhood education, Villa Academy’s Preschool students learn through inquiry-based, purposeful play. Our youngest learners are encouraged to wonder often, ask multiple questions, work through complex problems, iterate to find solutions, and collaborate with classmates to joyfully discover and deepen their learning.
EARLY ELEMENTARY GRADES K-2
Early Elementary, Grades K-2
Engaging Eager Learners
In the earliest years of their academic journey, Villa students develop foundational literacy, mathematical, and interdisciplinary academic skills through joyful, engaged learning. As active participants in our inquiry-based approach, students gain confidence in reading, writing, and mathematical thinking while working collaboratively to identify and answer big questions, seek out multiple solutions, and wonder deeply about our world.

Confident young minds
Across the intermediate grades, Villa students grow their academic skills while further honing their ability to generate meaningful questions and investigate ideas. Building upon the foundational skills and practices of their early elementary years, students are now “reading to learn,” rapidly growing their vocabularies, and making meaning of their ever-expanding world of discovery.
MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADES 6-8

VILLA TESTIMONIALS
"My favorite teacher at Villa was Mrs. McCready, the art teacher, who taught me the power of close observation—whether that was studying a painting, looking at an object from life or nature, or paying close attention to the people around me. It was the best possible lesson for becoming a writer."
"We've been members of the Villa community for seven wonderful years, beginning in Preschool with our oldest child. We have found a true sense of community in Villa and have loved watching our children blossom over the years. Villa has wonderful academics, a strong learning support team, and amazing teachers. Outside of the core classes, students can choose to join band in 4th grade or continue on with music, experience Art and Spanish multiple times per week, build in the Makerspace weekly, participate in tons of after-school sports and activities, and enjoy hot lunch every day. We feel truly lucky to have found Villa just as our children were beginning their school years!"
"Every day after school, my best friend and I would run around the woods together. I knew every path and trail in the woods and we loved to work on our forts in the orchard and explore. Today, my exploration happens in the Robotics Lab, as I continue to pursue my academic journey as a very enthusiastic member of the Holy Names Robotics team. I can always be found there working on our robot after school. ”
"I played soccer for the Villa CYO team from kindergarten through 8th Grade. From there, I played on a club soccer team and made the Seattle Prep soccer team as a Freshman. In 6th grade, I started to work with the younger kids at Villa by helping coach soccer. I’m happy to be back at Villa all summer to work with my Coach, Cassidy Gray, so that I may share my passion and enjoyment of soccer with younger kids."
"Villa has been a great school for our three kids (K, 2nd, 4th). The small classes have benefited each of our kids, especially because their first language was not English. Villa embraces and celebrates different backgrounds and cultures, which we love. From Kindergarten, the teachers and assistants were patient and compassionate, helping each child adjust to an English school environment. As they progressed, they gained confidence in not just English but themselves, developing friendships and enjoying school. The school is a great balance of academic rigor and developing strong, confident children!"
