Villa Academy is awesome! Our daughter attended Villa from K through 8th grade. The homework load was heavy, but she was extraordinarily well prepared for high school. 25 acre waterfront campus with classic red brick buildings, cheerful classrooms, well qualified and engaged teachers, and small class sizes. More expensive than the subsidized Catholic schools, but less expensive than other independent school options. Don't need to be Catholic to attend (more than half of the students are non-Catholic, including our daughter). I'd also like to offer a rebuttal to "Google User" with the one-star post from a five years ago. Villa students from my daughter's class were accepted into Lakeside, Seattle Prep, Holy Names, SAAS, Bush, University Prep and others. If you meet with the enrollment team, they will privately share with you test scores, high school placement, and they are building their college placement database. I know a number of Villa grads who have gone Ivy League and to other highly selective schools.

My two boys became Villa students in 2014. And since their arrival my parental guilt has kicked in BIG TIME! I keep asking myself: "Why didn't I get them there sooner?" While I truly respect personal choice when it comes to sending kids to school, Villa Academy embodies everything I ever wanted for my kids. Since joining the Villa community, I have witnessed my two boys become engaged and excited students. Is the work challenging? Yes. And it is with one eye on compassion as well as gentle, unwavering support from every teacher and administrator that it is assigned. The students truly care about one another. They are expected to be compassionate and supportive. They exceed that in every way. Every time I walk the halls of the school, there's always some little person asking me if I need directions. (I must look incredibly lost...) And parents, let's be clear: the school is unapologetic in making sure every parent participates not matter how big or small. Everyone is welcomed and respected. It is one thing as a parent to say I really love the school. It truly is another to watch my boys bound out of bed daily (and one even makes his bed!), ready to head to school; and return every afternoon appropriately tired, engaged and looking forward to what the next day at school has in store for them. Isn't this what every parent wants for their kids? While not every child will attend Villa; I do wish every kid COULD.

Our son joined Villa Academy in 6th grade in 2014. Coming from a fabulous public elementary school we were looking at many different options for middle schools and finally chose Villa Academy. Could not be happier with the choice. The transition to middle school for our son our son was wonderful. He felt right at home. Villa is a wonderful place for social and academic growth.

A nice high school to go to back in the 1970s. I attended 4 years at this good high school.

Greetings Villa students, alum and esteemed colleagues. I give my former Sacred Heart Villa school a solid 4-stars -- because come on, it's a school. Nothing with homework, early mornings, uniforms and nuns (pardon me sister) gets five stars. Cheers! Joe Snapp class of 1978.
