St Thomas Of Villanova School

St. Thomas of Villanova is a great school. We love the smaller class sizes and the teacher-parent communication is phenomenal. The teachers make school fun, while keeping structure and a great curriculum. The technology is up to date and available for students of all ages. There are plenty of sports, groups, and activities for all different interests. Families are always encouraged to join the various activities and events throughout the year. The school as a whole is like a large family with parents and students being very welcoming and friendly. Older students talk with younger students by name, even just in passing. It's amazing how they all know each other. Weekly mass, prayers throughout the day, and religion in the curriculum help to build a strong Catholic core. We feel confident that our children will get a great education while forming long friendships and developing their talents and interests at St. Thomas.

Invest your money in your child's college education instead of here. Several staff changes over the past couple of years (fired or retired dedicated teachers and staff who were replaced mostly with mothers whose children already attended the school) and cliquish parent/student behavior makes this an undesirable alternative to other private or D15 schools. Several 'nice' people, but 'nice' is not the same as 'good' in regards to both moral character and level of quality service. The church and Religious Education are good, but the school and its population lack several redeeming qualities.
