Villanova Preparatory School Reviews
Where Villanova could improve is to be more transparent in its administrative policies and identify appropriate in house contacts for parents. Villanova could do a better job of bringing parents into the loop and to gather parent input prior to making important administrative decisions which affect the students, parents and school.
There has been a high turnover among good teachers and staff members. We would like to see Villanova hire and retain engaging teachers and staff to fill those roles. In general, we would like to see a proactive administration rather than a reactive one.
