Villa Maria Academy Lower School

Villa Maria Academy is a Catholic, private day school for girls from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade, located in Immaculata, Pennsylvania. Villa Maria emphasizes student-centered achievement and the development of each student to her individual potential. The Academy was established over 130 years ago by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to prepare girls to become Christian women assuming leadership and service roles within the family, the local and global community, as the universal Church. While integrating spirituality with academics, the school-wide goals of Villa Maria call for the inculcation of a love for life-long learning, the development of critical thinking skills, and the nurturing of creativity, aesthetic appreciation, and reverence for the person as a unique creation of God. The educational program encourages students to perceive and maximize their capabilities, to develop positive self-images, and to use these gifts in service to others.
