Villa Madonna Academy ("VMA") is a private, Roman Catholic K-12 school in Villa Hills, Kentucky. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington and administered by the Benedictine Sisters. It is a three-time Blue Ribbon winner. [citation needed] Principal of VMA High School is Pamela McQueen. Principal of VMA Elementary/Junior High is Soshana Bosley.

Background

Villa Madonna Academy, sponsored by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Walburg Monastery, is an elementary, junior high and high school situated on over 200 acres (81 ha) in Villa Hills, Kentucky. Villa Madonna Academy High School is the only school in the tri-state area to receive back-to-back Blue Ribbon awards - one in 2001-2002 and another in 2003, each under different criteria. Villa Madonna Academy Elementary/Junior High received the Blue Ribbon award in 2007, thus making this a premiere school in the northern Kentucky/greater Cincinnati area.

Both schools provide tremendous opportunities for students to grow both spiritually and academically. The co-ed environment, complete with great parental support and an extensive curriculum, features some of the most outstanding faculty in the area. Each year, 100% of the graduates are accepted into colleges and universities across the country, and the majority of each senior class receives scholarships. Villa graduates consistently report how well-prepared they are for university study, and they attribute this to the great faculty and demanding curriculum that challenge them to be their best.

Athletic Background

Villa Madonna Academy has an excellent athletic program. The high school offers 12 varsity sports, and the teams are very successful, consistently earning conference championships. Student athletes have won the Kentucky Heisman Award and the KHSAA State Sportsmanship Award, to name just two. Villa athletes are "student athletes," bringing to the field or the court the same commitment to excellence that they bring to the classroom. In 2000, a state-of-the art athletic facility opened, providing even more opportunities for athletes to excel. Villa is home of the Blue Lightning, a mascot that reflects the intensity of the teams.
