Students in classes at the Honors level at Villa Maria generally take multiple Honors and/or Advanced Placement courses. However, for students who seek deeper academic challenge, who aspire to apply their learning to real-life situations, who seek to problem-solve and pursue learning at the highest academic level, Villa offers opportunity beyond our usual coursework.
Established in 2017, Villa Maria's St. Teresa of Ávila Scholars Program invited participation from incoming freshmen meeting established benchmarks on the HSPT as they applied to Villa Maria. The Class of 2028 saw the last students admitted to this Scholars Program. Our Scholars in the Classes of 2027 & 2028 will continue on the paths as they joined the Scholars program in their freshman year.
In 2026, the Scholars Program was "reincarnated" to our Villa Visionaries program, continuing the challenge to our students to "be extraordinary"! Starting with the Class of 2029, a student must earn a 3.5 GPA as of the end of Semester 1 of freshman year in order to be invited and then apply for the Villa Visionaries program.
