Faculty Spotlight

Meet Dr. Patrick Marti

Middle School Science Teacher

“It’s important for students to apply science in a hands-on way, solve real-life problems, and demonstrate teamwork and leadership in the process.”

Villa's campus provides unique opportunities to explore science with the expert guidance of Dr. Marti, who studied chemical and biomolecular engineering at Johns Hopkins, and completed his Ph.D. in natural sciences from Cambridge University.

Whether engaged in Life Science, Earth Science, Physics, or Chemistry, Villa's curriculum incorporates the Next Generation Science Standards, an internationally recognized set of skills valued in scientists.

Applying what they learn in class to real life, and making it personal, means students are powerfully invested in their learning.
