Beginning in 8th grade and continuing through High School students begin taking more independent steps in their faith journeys. They seek a closer relationship with God. They ask God specific, serious questions about growing up, friends, and career paths.

Through their retreat experiences, our students are given a sacred space - physical, emotional, and spiritual - where they can freely explore their faith journeys with full knowledge that the Villa Madonna Academy family is present every step of the way. The VMA family helps clear obstacles to faith development, and helps ensure that the journey experience is rewarding.
