Villanova's beautiful 130-acre campus in the Ojai Valley is only 45 minutes from Santa Barbara and serves as a safe, peaceful, secluded oasis for our students and faculty.
After a century of educating high school students to be critical and conceptual thinkers, effective communicators, and self-directed lifelong learners, Villanova Prep added a middle school serving sixth through eighth grades starting in the 2023-24 school year, providing middle school students in the Ojai Valley with an outstanding, well-rounded program that includes a quality academic curriculum, character development, athletics, fine arts, and community service.
In the Augustinian tradition, the Mission of Villanova Preparatory School is to graduate mature young adults of diverse backgrounds who reflect the qualities of truth, unity, and love. The school does this by providing a challenging college preparatory curriculum and Catholic environment that promote the development of mind, heart and body. These young adults will think, judge, and act in ways that are sound and in keeping with the teachings of Jesus Christ.
By the numbers:
350 students across grades 6-12 from 14 countries and 24 domestic middle schools. 67% identify as non-Caucasian. 35% commute or ride the bus from
over 20 miles away.
