I wholeheartedly welcome you to the Villa website. How ecstatic I am to join the Villa Community as its Principal! Each and every person including members of the Religious of Jesus and Mary, Villa staff, School board, various volunteer associations and the student-body has inspired me. Such dedication, such love truly mirror the Villa’s Mission: to embrace Christian values, academic excellence and loving service. How uplifting our daily tasks and interaction with others become when they are guided by such worthy goals.

Currently, serving the poor in Haiti, former principal, Sister Vivian recently visited the Villa. When I shared with her how gracious the Villa community has been to me and how impressed I have been by the philosophy, history, and commitment of the Religious of Jesus and Mary, she responded, “The walls of the Villa resound with the spirit of the religious of Jesus and Mary; it has imbued the Villa, the community of Goffstown and its surrounding communities over the years."  How fortunate the school, and local communities have been; how blessed I am!

What can a parent and child expect to experience at the Villa? First and foremost, both will discover a small, warm, nurturing, safe school environment. Both staff and students know and care about each other. A child will know his/her classmates; older children, like older siblings, are helpful, wholesome role-models to younger children; learning is not just valued but also maximized because children are secure, connected, and invested. In short, children are happy, kind-hearted, high achievers. As a result, they are well on their way to becoming spiritually based, lifelong learners. What a perfect beginning!

For those of you new to this site or the Villa community, I encourage you to visit us: we offer extensive nurturing programs for children in preschool through eighth grade. We promise you and your child a thoroughly unique, exciting, enriching adventure.

Sincerely
Jack Daniels
Principal, Villa Augustina School
