History

Established in 1964.

Villa received its charter from the State Board for Charter Schools in 1995 becoming one of the first charter schools in Arizona. Since becoming a charter school, Villa has expanded its enrollment to meet the demand for its now more affordable education increasing the number of classrooms at each program level and adding a middle school program.



Villa remains a community of parents, teachers, friends, and administrators dedicated to the development of the whole child who believe in the effectiveness of the Montessori Method as the foundation in this process. Villa’s parents and former parents continue to provide invaluable leadership and support through their time, unique talents, and financial commitment. Villa’s teachers still set the standard for Montessori educators in Arizona. As the first Montessori school in Phoenix and one of the first charter schools in Arizona, Villa remains committed to finding innovative and effective ways of meeting the needs of children.
