Why All Girls?
Since our founding in 1872, Villa Maria Academy Lower School continues its dedication to educating young women. We understand how girls learn, grow and succeed. Now more than ever, an all-girls education provides the greatest opportunities, support and success.
Our students aren’t just educated to become future leaders; they are empowered to lead from the moment they arrive on campus.
Villa Maria Academy’s unique environment allows every young woman the opportunity to discover her talents, nurture her passions, and explore her potential.

Discover Villa
From first discoveries to lasting skills, Villa’s Early Learning Center (ELC) provides girls and boys with a joyful initial classroom experience and a solid foundation for the future.
In elementary school at Villa, guided by exceptional faculty, outstanding academics, and the charism of the IHM Sisters, girls are encouraged and expected to try new things, to work together, and to be leaders who serve their communities.
The middle school at Villa provides an engaging and challenging learning environment for our girls that recognizes their needs and helps to develop their gifts and talents. In our all-girl environment, students develop meaningful relationships with each other and with their teachers.
