Villanova is a school where people who work here are overjoyed to send their own children here. I look out my window and see happy high schoolers....my son joined the community and it is so fulfilling to now see him experience the community. Great sports programming, strong academics, and lots of fun sprinkled in.

Effectively prepares students for college. Such a loving community on a gorgeous campus. Anyone that attends this school is very fortunate.

Villanova is a massively mixed bag. The IB Diploma offers 2 years of incredible academic rigor to those up to the challenge, and the normal course classes are still decently difficult, and the teachers are clearly passionate about their work. However, the administration sometimes makes incredibly weird decisions. They hired a first-time teacher to teach an IB Math class, despite having 0 prior experience. ASB has almost no role to effect actual change, they are relegated to being "role models" with no real power outside of the few privileges granted by admin. The office also has a huge disconnect with the student body. There were many occasions where admin made a decision that was universally hated by the students. I don't mind the dress code, it's not super intrusive and nobody really enforces it in the first place.
