We are a private, independent Catholic academy, providing students in grades K-12 with a truly outstanding education in the classical liberal arts in an environment that is conducive to the formation of the whole person. Loyal to the Magisterium of the Church, and grounded in the method and principles of St. Ignatius of Loyola, our purpose is to cultivate wisdom and virtue by nourishing the souls of our students on all that is true, beautiful, and good, so that, in Christ, the student is better able to attain the noble end for which he was created – to know, love, and glorify God.
Our Philosophy
In the introduction to his Encyclical Letter, Fides et Ratio, Pope John Paul II reminds educators that, "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth". This principle deeply informs the curriculum at Ville de Marie Academy. We seek to offer families and their children the full-breadth of the Catholic intellectual tradition – a wisdom that we can provide through being fully committed to rigorous academics and a vibrant life of faith, so as to lead both the hearts and minds of our students to Christ.
