Welcome to Villa Maria Academy established by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1892.

Tradition, religion, academics, leadership, athletics, arts, electives, activities, and our community of faculty and students are all the parts that make Villa Maria a special place to be.

At VMA, ours is truly a community of parents, families, students, teachers, coaches, staff and administration who prepare our students for the great challenges of tomorrow. As stated in our mission statement:

Villa Maria Academy is a Catholic, co-educational, secondary school established to further the mission of unity of the Sisters of St. Joseph.  Through Villa Maria Academy’s leadership, gospel-centered environment and commitment to academic excellence, we empower young people to recognize their God-given uniqueness and talents, to acquire knowledge and skills for success in a global society and to be leaders in creating a future of optimism, generosity and confidence.

At Villa, we uphold the value of the intrinsic dignity and worth of the individual. As Christian educators, we promote Gospel values to develop an awareness of self. We educate for the spiritual, intellectual and social growth of the total person in a nurturing learning community.

The Catholic character of the school fosters the spiritual and religious formation of the student. The Villa community seeks to teach, affirm and support a respect for life through love of God, self and others. We strive to form young people who are knowledgeable in their faith, will participate in a variety of faith experiences and will become committed to living the Gospel message.

We challenge students to value education as a life-long endeavor to acquire and to communicate knowledge, and to be prepared for an ever-changing world. Our extensive curriculum, designed to meet diverse academic abilities and supplemented by extra-curricular enrichment, advances each student’s skills and understanding. Our faculty and staff stimulate intellectual curiosity, encourage critical thinking and stress the value of self-discipline and responsibility.

Villa Maria Academy offers opportunities for intelligent, articulate leadership and discerning citizenship. We expect students to acknowledge the obligations of each individual to others, and to share the responsibility of strengthening the community in which they live. We prepare students in an environment which celebrates diversity and educates for peace, justice and service.

If you’ve been able to visit us, you’ve experienced the Villa family firsthand. When you join this Villa family, the relationships you establish here will remain with you for the rest of your life. Together, we move toward future frontiers. We already know that the journey is challenging, yet ever so much fun! We invite you to become a part of our VMA community as we continue the traditions established in 1892.
