You've come to the right place

We know you are seeking the best possible academic and educational experience in St. Louis. At Villa, we believe that a transformational education is made even stronger when students know and truly embrace their God-given gifts. Whether boys and girls in our Lower School, or young women in Middle or High School, Villa students learn in a school community where academics and spiritual development are inextricably linked. Our Catholic, Sacred Heart Mission shapes our approach to education, and our students develop the competencies necessary to navigate their future with hope, joy, and purpose.

I see my daughter becoming the kind of person the world needs. Villa Duchesne provides the time, focus, and context to imbue her life with meaning, so that she can go on to live a life of success and purpose. I know that she won't just be experiencing the world, she'll be changing it!

At Villa, we embrace our students and accompany them as they learn about their faith, develop their intellect, begin to look beyond and understand the world around them, build friendships and community, and ask hard questions. Villa students are confident and creative learners, secure in their foundation. Our Sacred Heart educators are ready to inspire the next generation of brilliant students!

The best way to experience Villa is to come to our beautiful, 60+ acre campus in person. Schedule a visit online or complete our inquiry form and we will reach out to you to schedule a tour or visit!
