Villa Madonna Academy

"Students in elementary will receive 2-3 hours of homework a night and are told NOT to socialize. Lunch is 30 mins only. This is a very high stress environment for the kids and the administration doesn’t care. Feedback is considered a nuisance. The teachers band together on almost all issues and nothing changes. Your child will be able to complete tasks well, but will not be well rounded. This method produces robots not creative thinkers. The issue lies with a lack of new staff with higher education (Masters) as well as a lack diversity which could bring in new light to the school. I would reconsider buying that $700k+ house down the street for a $12k/yr school that doesn’t allow a child to be a child. Stem programs and leagues are reserved for familiar students and are not fairly open to all. A private school in KY can do these all these things with no repercussions. Many go with the rules and injustices because there’s little competition in NKY."

"Unfortunately, the elementary school discriminates in small and consistent ways against students who are not Catholic, white and without alumni parentage. Bullying is also a problem that is rarely dealt with effectively whether it's from a student or teacher. What they don't share is why parents pull their kids out of the school. Be careful, don't be fooled by the blue ribbon accreditations. Bad behavior is normalized and empathy is low to victims."

"I knew that Villa was a highly academic school but I had no idea that they had such an amazing theater program. I went to see my niece in Cinderella this past weekend and what a great production. The kids have so much talent and the show was so nicely done. It’s was musical, comedic, fun, and meaningful. Hats off to the production team and anyone else involved in Cinderella."

"As a parent of a student at VMA, I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of the Villa family. A recent medical episode has made truly made me feel like a part of a family. The support I’ve felt for myself and my family has left me in a state of gratitude. I’m humbled by the caring shown to me by other Villa families. What a wonderful feeling for my son to see and experience the Benedictine values!"

"As a graduate of VMA High School, I felt incredibly prepared for post-secondary education and my career. Villa was some of the best four years of my life. Excellent sense of school spirit, lifelong friendships, and true Benedictine values are professed at this school. I owe a lot of my success to the culture and educators at Villa."
