School Reviews
5 2/23/2019
Villa Madonna Academy is phenomenal. I have children in elementary school and junior high, and VMA has become an extended family for all of us. The faculty and administration are brilliant, hardworking and incredibly gifted as teachers and role-models. My children absolutely love the learning environment, the extracurricular activities, and their teachers and friends. And I love the values as much as the education.
