Villa Academy
In the heart of northeast Seattle’s Laurelhurst neighborhood, Villa Academy's 31-acre campus goes beyond the classroom walls for hands-on, experiential learning. Academic rigor is foundational to our Whole-Child philosophy, of which we believe that every child deserves to be known as an individual—heart, mind, body, and spirit. Our students explore real-world issues, think critically, and develop skills not only for future academic journeys but for life. Small-class sizes and highly collaborative faculty empower students as individuals. At Villa Academy, our students thrive in their learning styles and social-emotional growth and wellbeing, and with grade-appropriate social justice curricula, they deepen their compassion and character.
