Mission

The Villa Maria Foundation is an independent, volunteer organization whose mission is to raise money in order to support the programs and activities of Villa Maria, foster quality education within the unique environment of the school, and promote the general development of its students, the women of tomorrow.


With your help, she can reach for the sky.

Why invest in the Foundation?

  • To insure Villa Maria’s future
  • To maintain high pedagogical and technological standards
  • To make up for shortfalls
  • To offer financial assistance to worthy candidates

Your contributions at work

Thanks to the contributions of parents, alumnae, staff and friends of Villa Maria, the Foundation has provided the school with funds that have contributed to the purchase of computers and multimedia equipment for computer labs, language labs and several classrooms, funding for pedagogical and cultural projects, and the allocation of numerous bursaries.
