Villa Duchesne provides a Catholic education in the Sacred
Heart tradition, focused on fostering faith, intellect, social
awareness, relationships, and personal growth in a community with
love at the center for boys and girls age 3 through grade 5 and
young women grades 6-12.
Our 60-acre campus provides a rich backdrop for indoor and
outdoor learning. Whether boys and girls in our Lower School or
young women in our Upper School, Villa students learn in a
community where academics and spiritual development are
inextricably linked. As a result, their minds are stretched and
their hearts are inspired, deepening the relevance and resonance of
every lesson. We believe that when we educate the whole student in
this way, they develop both the academic and self-knowledge to
change the world.
Villa graduates are strong in faith and secure in their
foundation. They know how to build relationships and be a part of a
community. They are confident learners and creative problem
solvers. Our students forge lifelong friendships during their time
at Villa and share a hopeful vision for the future. We truly
believe every child has the power to change the world!
Villa is a member of the International Network of Sacred Heart
Schools, linked with more than 150 schools in 30 countries. We have
a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio and are committed to affordable
education with Family Individualized Tuition (FIT).
