Summary: Our college prep curriculum offers a breadth of opportunities to foster the intellectual achievement of each student. Small class size and highly qualified and dedicated faculty encourage academic excellence. Although the curriculum is rigorous, students view Villanova as a friendly and engaging place. Teachers are available daily for after school tutoring and welcome the opportunity to offer academic support. An iPad program allows technology to be integrated throughout the curriculum. In all curriculum areas, lessons are designed to provide active learning and personal responsibility in developing the interests and skills to be a life-long learner. Our students are encouraged to work to their highest potential, achieve strong college preparatory skills, and gain a broad knowledge in the humanities, arts, and sciences. We consistently place students into many of the top colleges and universities in the nation.We operate on the semester system and students take seven courses each year. Our course catalog features honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) course offerings, so that students will be able to test themselves in a supportive, yet intellectually challenging, small-school learning environment. Our students are encouraged to develop a range of skills for critical thinking and self-expression and to mature into socially active global citizens. With this in mind, our academic curriculum enables students to become college ready within a Catholic, Augustinian values-based, education.

Summary: Boarding at Villanova has a rich and vibrant history stretching back over 90 years. Villanova’s Catholic, Augustinian mission sets us apart from many boarding programs with our emphasis on Christian principles, Gospel values, and our Augustinian core values: love, truth, and unity. Resident students learn how to make ethical/moral decisions, think critically, and all in a loving, supporting environment that feels more like a family than a dormitory. Like any family, the members sometimes have conflict, make mistakes, or need help. Villanova teaches boarders how to resolve conflicts, the value of forgiveness, how to be self-advocates and where to find answers.Villanova's loving family environment offers a place for students to share triumphs and heartaches together, develop friendships with individuals from all over the world, many of whom visit each other during school breaks and stay in contact well beyond high school. Most importantly a place to develop in mind, heart, and body. This is achieved by having a dedicated staff whose primary role is caring for the resident students, and along with the students, creating a warm environment in which all students are a priority.
