Academics
Through small class sizes and a commitment to relational teaching, Villa ensures that school is a place where students are seen, known, and celebrated from their earliest days on campus. Through inquiry-based learning, Villa students remain at the center of their academic growth, collaboratively building the foundation of a joyful, lifelong learning adventure guided by talented teachers.
At Villa Academy, we are growing confident young minds with strong moral character who are prepared to make a difference. Our inquiry-based approach to education balances theory with experience, pairing student-centered academic excellence and whole child wellness with our values of growth, justice, and student agency.
Villa firmly stands in commitment to the transformative power of our Cabrinian tradition of “education of the heart.”
BE KNOWN. BE CHALLENGED. BELONG.
- As committed partners on the educational journey, Villa Preschool faculty and staff work in close relationship with all of our families to know and support your growing child. Following these formative years, Kindergarten presents a new opportunity to change and become–both as individuals and in connected community.
- In the Early Elementary years, students commence the intellectual adventure of school–engaging in hands-on, experiential learning while building practical skills of literacy, computation, and problem solving.
- The Intermediate years provide great opportunity to extend and deepen this foundational work, as Villa faculty ongoingly stretch, challenge, and encourage students to pursue their interests and examine our complex world.
- In Middle School, students’ learning expands even further through new and creative opportunities for inquiry. Villa Middle School students grow their skills and their ability to practically apply them. They become writers, researchers, scientists, and mathematicians, and they graduate with a keen awareness of their ability to positively impact the world.
