Why

Villanova College is a private, independent, Catholic, Augustinian school for young men and women. We are dedicated to the enrichment of each student in mind, heart and body.

The legacy of Catholic, Augustinian education has been recognized throughout history for fostering hope, focusing on the dignity of the person, and supporting the contribution each individual can make toward a better world. It is our aim to prepare our students to become ethical leaders who create positive change everywhere life takes them.

At the heart of a Catholic, Augustinian education is the belief that each person can help make the world a better place.

Guiding Values

As a Catholic, Augustinian school we are united (unitas), seeking truth (veritas) together and recognizing the goodness (caritas) in all of God's creation as we live in community.
