A Community of Belonging.

 

Our Mission

Villa Academy is an inclusive independent school community dedicated to developing the whole child in the Cabrinian tradition of “education of the heart.”

Through dynamic, inquiry-based learning, Villa Academy students become active agents of their own intellectual growth in preparation for lives of service and purpose.

Be Known. Be Challenged. Belong.

Villa is the only independent school in the city of Seattle nurturing the holistic development of children: mind, body, and spirit. Dedicated to inquiry-driven, student-centered academic excellence, Villa simultaneously tends to whole child growth and integrated health, informed by clear and compelling research on the powerful influence of nature, spirituality, and social-emotional intelligence on academic thriving. Our empowered students become stewards of their lives, caretakers of their mental and social wellbeing, and custodians of the environment.

 

From enduring, lifelong connections and friendships to unforgettable memories, Villa is a remarkable place for students to grow up and for families to take root.

Community Gatherings

Community Gatherings occur once a month and are a time for our whole community to meet: students, faculty and staff. These are joyful gatherings where we sing, pray, share and celebrate together. We understand that coming together in this way increases our sense of belonging and fosters appreciation and gratitude for one another.
