Villa Maria Academy's Lower School empowers young girls in Kindergarten to Grade 8 for spiritual and moral development, academic excellence, leadership and service within a Catholic, private learning community in Malvern.  A love for learning begins with Villa Maria Academy’s co-educational  preschool and Pre-K programs, where three and four year old girls and boys experience joy in learning through play and exploration in a safe and caring environment based on mutual respect.

Since 1872, the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary have been committed to the spiritual formation and education of young girls. A strong legacy unites with innovation on the picturesque 30-acre campus educating students from preschool through 8th grade.

Villa Maria Academy is designed to meet the educational needs and unique learning style of each student. Villa students are challenged daily to be fearless in the classroom and take risks that are not available in the co-ed learning environment. Dynamic classroom settings and curriculum development are both intentional and research-based. Integration of technology in all core subjects gives Villa students advantages that encourage resourcefulness in the pursuit of wisdom throughout their educational journey. Villa’s unrivaled academics, fine arts, athletics, student activities, and service learning programs, provide girls the foundation to discover their individual passion and prepare for a lifetime of learning and leading.
