Our Mission and Values

Since 1872, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have been committed to the spiritual formation and education of young girls. At Villa Maria Academy, we are dedicated to empowering young girls for spiritual and moral development, academic excellence, leadership, and service within a Catholic, private learning community. Our mission is energized by the IHM Charism of love, creative hope, and fidelity. We believe in creating an environment that fosters personal growth, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility.

Academic Excellence

Villa Maria Academy provides an engaging and challenging learning environment for our girls that recognizes their needs and helps to develop their gifts and talents. From preschool to middle school, our programs are designed to nurture the whole child, including her intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development. Our faculty is dedicated to creating a stimulating environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and critical thinking.

Leadership and Service

We believe that leadership and service are essential components of a Villa Maria Academy education. Our students are encouraged to participate in various extracurricular activities and community service projects that help them develop their leadership skills and a sense of social responsibility. Through these experiences, our students learn the value of teamwork, empathy, and the importance of giving back to their community.

We are proud of our legacy and continue to build on the foundation laid by our IHM Sisters.
