Villanova is an academically challenging high school with a beautiful campus, outstanding teachers/staff, phenomenal food, and diverse and unique students. The teachers here want only the best for their students and work extra hard to ensure that their student succeeds. They push you academically to be your best and help guide you through everything and they all genuinely care about the kids. Villanova also has the best college counselers who really bend over backward for their students success. The kids who make up this small community are all so kind with big hearts. Everyone wants to learn and make friends. Villanova is famous for not having "good" sport teams but I attended Villanova and I can say that sports is really what you make it. The students in sports work amazingly hard and everyone here really supports all of the sports. Every sports game is filled with students and signs. Send your kid to Villanova. You, and them, won't regret it.

Villanova was the perfect school for me. Great students, wonderful teachers, and the class sizes were great. I felt that the teachers and administration really cared about us. My classes were challenging, and I am definitely prepared for college. I've made some amazing friends, and I know we'll be close for years to come.
The school is good for people who want to explore different activities and find what they like. Anyone can join anything really, especially the sports because they aren't very competitive. There's Mock Trial, Theatre, Musicals, Campus Ministry––I would encourage anyone to just try everything that's offered on campus because you might find something you really enjoy that you didn't expect to enjoy. It is like college in that way––you get to explore a lot. The school really is trying to improve the campus, especially with the iPads now in the classroom and the construction of the track. One critic I have is the organization of the administration; I feel that sometimes the decisions they make aren't very fair or at least they do not clearly convey their reasoning. Sometimes I feel like they have the funding to do certain things but they don't put the funding to the right cause, but hopefully that is changing.
