Our overall experience has been very positive over the years. The teachers have always been very attentive to our daughters's needs and we have seen continuous improvement academically and spiritually. The AP classes are demanding but the quality of the lessons has helped our daughters improve their critical thinking and knowledge of different academic subjects. The facilities are great. We also have seen continuous progress in the school's programs - from Robotics to the Athletics program.

Great experience working at this school. Dedicated administration and faculty along with supportive parents. Students are great and always come to class wanting to learn and be challenged academically. Respectful students who I have been fortunate to teach during my time at the school.

I love that my daughter is safe. I enjoy that the girls take their work so seriously. I think they are somewhat removed from some of the garbage kids have to deal with out in the world. I think she will exit the school having grown more confident and comfortable in her own skin and willing to advocate for herself.

I'm a student at Villa and honestly, I really disliked my experience. The buildings are outdated, the smells are atrocious, and you may see puddles of discolored liquid around the school. Technology? – a joke, even our smartboards are old ones Delbarton has handed down. Everything from the teachers,...
