COVID-19 Update for Prospective Students and Families:
At Villanova Preparatory School, we were quick to pivot to online learning in March 2020 (students missed only one day of instruction!) and were quick to return to in-person learning as soon as possible. Villanova will continue to following State and County guidelines to keep our students safe. Learn More

Villanova Preparatory School is the premier coed Catholic boarding school on the West Coast. Founded in 1924 by the Augustinian Fathers, Villanova’s mission is to graduate mature young adults of diverse backgrounds who reflect the core values of Truth, Unity, and Love. Villanova Prep is highly regarded for its academic excellence in the International Baccalaureate program, its international culture with a student body made up of 17 different countries, and its celebration of classic, campy, high school fun! The school develops the mind, body, and heart of its students in a safe and supportive environment, with a 7:1 student to teacher ratio. Students enjoy a beautiful 131 acre campus located in the Ojai Valley, a small town 85 miles north of LA. The school offers an enriching variety of extracurricular activities and sports programs as well as a vibrant art scene. Students go on to matriculate into the best U.S. Universities and Colleges, but always have a home at Villanova.

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.
