[EduCativ]

We hope that this virtual tour of Villa Victoria Academy gives you a sense of the great work that is going on at our Academy. Villa Victoria Academy was established in 1933 by the Religious Teachers Filippini in Ewing, New Jersey, at the Scudder Falls Bridge. Villa Victoria Academy, one of the oldest Catholic all-girls school in New Jersey, graduated its 80th graduating class on June 4, 2017.

Here at Villa Victoria, we say that our graduates are spiritual, generous, intellectual, creative, leadership-oriented, and optimistic. Over a thousand girls are a testament to this, making a difference in their chosen careers and homes. Small classes and individualized attention allow Villa girls to reach their full potential both at Villa and after graduation.

The Villa Class of 2017, although only 13 students are healthy, earned a combined total of over 3 million dollars in college scholarships. The graduates were accepted at various prestigious colleges and universities, including New York University, George Washington University, Drexel University, Boston University, Rutgers University, and Fordham University.

The mission of Villa Victoria Academy, consistent with the vision of the Religious Teachers Filippini, is to educate students to a global view, uphold each individual's dignity, and empower students to influence the world in a truly Christian manner. We Believe:

• Life is a gift from God and should be safeguarded. Every person, created in the image and likeness of God, possesses an inherent worth and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Every person can learn and reach her potential. Children are our community's most valuable asset and have a right to safety, love, and learning.
• Education is a shared responsibility of the school community, consisting of the administration, faculty, parents, and students. The academic and spiritual formation of girls is vital to the human family. Effective education develops the whole person – spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically.

Villa Victoria Academy is set on forty-four beautiful acres along the Delaware River in Ewing, New Jersey. Founded in 1933 by the Religious Teachers Filippini, Villa Victoria's mission reflects the philosophy of St. Lucy Filippini, whose vision inspires generations of young women to become healthy, knowledgeable, compassionate leaders. Our alumnae are academically competitive, culturally aware, and well-prepared to influence the world. Here, girls' individuality flourishes in a supportive and challenging environment.

Villa Victoria Academy helps to develop each student's inner abilities of critical thinking, creativity, self-esteem, and compassion. This is done through small class sizes, our emphasis on a well-rounded education, and many leadership opportunities for our students. Our program prepares students to meet the challenges and opportunities they will face in the future.

Villa Victoria Academy's curriculum allows her students to explore all their talents and interests. A variety of honors and advanced placement courses are offered in both Science and the Humanities to balance each student's education. For this reason, graduates of Villa Victoria make confident, informed decisions when pursuing a course of study in college.

At Villa Victoria Academy, young women are encouraged to explore their capabilities. They are the leaders. They are the scholars. Our students are given the encouragement and the opportunities to reach inside themselves to discover talents that they never knew existed.

Our "Villa Girls" represent a diverse mix of young women from around the region at Villa Victoria Academy. They can be found kicking a soccer goal, presenting a project using the Science of robotics, singing a solo in the school musical, leading fellow students in prayer at school liturgical services, or organizing a school-wide effort to supply coats for the homeless. Each student is given opportunities to develop her leadership, teamwork, self-discipline, and creative skills.

The student life of a "Villa Girl" is filled with various cultural, social, and personal growth opportunities. Students are empowered to develop their interests and make a positive contribution to the local and global community.

The co-curricular program at Villa Victoria Academy is designed to complement our academic curriculum by enhancing world experiences, developing leadership skills, and fostering students' God-given talents while interacting with their peers and adult mentors. Our students can choose from a variety of clubs, academic competitions, and social events.
