Support Our School

Villa Madonna Academy's tradition of excellence is built upon the Benedictine values of scholarship, service, hospitality, stewardship, respect, and prayer. We hope that you will consider being a steward of the Benedictine tradition and share your gifts with the Academy.

 

One of the most exciting endeavors in recent Villa history was the November 2019 launch of the Transform Our Future Treasure Our Tradition Capital Campaign. This was only the second capital campaign in the history of our school!  Just four months after the campaign began, COVID changed all of our lives. Fundraising was put on pause as we respected the varied situations of our stakeholders. Six months later, we began again. In the spirit of St. Benedict, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. To date, we have raised $5.2 million dollars. Unfortuantely, costs increased dramatically in all areas, and construction is no exception. The renovation of the Center Building fell in the range of $5.8M. Our goal is to secure additional funds to offset the difference in costs.The results will impact current and future generations of Villa students and teachers.

 

We are excited to share that the first phase of our project, renovations of the Center Building for grades K-6, is complete. By June of 2025, the Montessori will move into their newly renovated space joining grades K-6 and the elementary principal's office. 

 

The renovation of the yellow brick building's first floor to create the STEM wing is Phase II of our project, and the construction of a ramp and elevator to provide ADA accessibility to the Center Building is Phase III. Phase II has an expected cost of $1.2M and Phase III has an expected cost of $897,000.

 

Needless to say, we continue to seek support for these projects. We are so excited to see the results of our beloved 1906 structure! Your gift to the Capital Campaign will help us transform the Center Building and Main Building for the 21st century.
