Villanova Preparatory School

http://www.villanovaprep.org

Founded in 1924, Villanova is an Augustinian, Catholic, coeducational, residential and day school set in a rural, tranquil environment, where cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity are welcomed and embraced. Students come to Villanova from 10 countries, including the United States. Founded in the liberal arts tradition, the curriculum seeks to provide the student with the skills necessary for admission to any college or university in the United States, and to live successfully in a world of rapid technological and social changes. Emphasis is placed on effective communication and study skills, critical and interpretive thinking, and the ability to make rational, informed judgments. Advanced Placement and Honors courses round out the college preparatory curriculum. For international students, our English as a Second Language Program offers a transition to the college preparatory curriculum. Clubs, activities, community service, athletic teams, campus ministry and the Augustinian core values of Love, Truth and Unity, round out the Villanova experience.
