Thank you for visiting Villa's virtual Open House right here on our website! Tour our campus, hear from administration, staff, and parents, and even tune in to a student Q&A session. Even though we aren't able to welcome you to campus to meet you in person today, we hope that these photos and videos will give you a taste of what it's like to be a part of the Villa family. We hope that you'll find an opportunity to visit us in person soon to truly experience Villa. If there are any additional questions that you have, please contact our Admissions Department at admissions@vjmhs.org.
ADVISORY PERIOD
Villa is committed to nurturing our students’ whole selves by encouraging them to get involved outside the classroom, but extracurriculars don’t have to equal staying after school! During our daily advisory period, students won’t just hear announcements; they’ll have the opportunity to...
- Meet with teachers for extra support and make up tests
- Attend a club meeting
- Take time for growth mindset and personal reflection
- Meet with a guidance counselor or visit the chapel
- Catch up on work or meet with other students for a group project or presentation
BLUE/GOLD DAYS
In addition to our traditional 5-day rotation schedule, students will have the opportunity to explore our Deep Dive initiative. On these Blue/Gold days, students will attend five classes (four academic courses and one advisory/lunch period). Each 75-minute class allows students to deep dive into labs, discussions, projects, works of art, hands-on demos, guest speakers, group work, staff support, and more.
