Academics
Exceptional expectations, exceptional support
The idea at the heart of a Villa Joseph Marie education is that every girl should have every chance to take her talents as far as she can. That philosophy has led our students to achieve some truly impressive academic accomplishments. Though they could rank at the top of the class at any school, our students find special opportunities at Villa.
- An intellectual community on an intimate scale, where their teachers know them as a person, understand their individual strengths, and do everything it takes to help them be their best.
- An experience fully focused on the needs and strengths of girls, exemplifying a model of single-sex learning consistently validated in national research.
- Three learning paths -- Academic, Honors, and Advanced Placement -- that ensure every student can find exactly the right level for her.
- Unique among area girls' schools, our Transcend program provides specialized one-on-one support to students diagnosed with mild learning disabilities.
