Technology
One-to-One iPad Program
Innovations in technology have been changing the way teachers teach and students learn. In order
to remain focused on the academy’s mission of educating students grades K-12 for full Christian
participation in 21st century life, Villa must enhance student learning by providing cutting edge
technology in the classroom.
VMA principals, Pam McQueen and Soshana Bosley, discovered that several learning institutions
around the country have implemented one-to-one iPad programs that intrinsically alter the
learning environment by giving students the opportunity to learn 21st century skills.
After further research, the principals decided that the one-to-one iPad program would benefit all
students grades K-12, and Villa Madonna Academy would implement a pilot iPad
program during the 2012-2013 academic year.
During VillaRama 2012, the first “Fund-a-Need” auction was held in which parents,
alumni, grandparents and friends of Villa generously stepped up and invested $27,000
towards the purchasing of iPads and the upgrading of technological infrastructure
for the pilot phase of this program.
The Villa Advantage
Elementary
VMA faculty is committed to a high
standard of academic excellence
that produces results. Our students
achieve higher scores on standardized
tests (ACT, ITBS and EXPLORE)
than those of our peer schools locally,
regionally and nationally.
The purpose of this testing is to assess educational achievement and to guide future instruction. Students at VMA continuously score
above the diocesan, state and national averages and students score above their anticipated scores based upon their cognitive skills.
In fact, VMA qualified for the Blue Ribbon award by scoring in the top 10% of schools nationwide in Reading and Math.

Annual Appeal
Many loyal alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations demonstrate the Benedictine values by investing
in Villa Madonna Academy. We are grateful for these contributions and acknowledge those whose commitment and
dedication help further our mission.
Annual Support Campaign
Endowment
To attain the highest vision of all that is possible in private,
Catholic, co-ed, K-12 education, Villa Madonna Academy
must provide our students with programs and technologies
that promote and enhance academic excellence.
A donation in support of VMA’s Endowment Fund provides for
the financial stability of the academy for future generations.
This perpetual fund is necessary to carry on the tradition of
preparing students for college and future opportunities.
As a private school, we depend on the financial support of our
alumni, parents, and friends to continue the Villa tradition
of offering unparalleled education to students in the Greater
Cincinnati region. You have the opportunity to be a part of
this most important endeavor and to support the strategic
vision of Villa for generations to come. Please consider this
important investment.
Each year 5% of the total value of the endowment is allocated
for overall operational support.
Charitable Gift Planning
Planned Giving is a program allowing you to leave your legacy
so that future generations of learners have access to the best
private, Catholic education in the Greater Cincinnati area. You
do not have to be wealthy to make a planned gift – anyone can
do so and it is very simple, yet impactful.

3. Calling (859)331-6333 Ext. 133 or emailing
[email protected].
We are happy to assist you through the giving process.
Ways to Give
There are several funding opportunities that allow you to
support Villa Madonna Academy while also achieving your own
personal and financial giving goals.
Debt Relief
Villa Madonna Academy made a strategic decision in 2000 to
build a new state-of-the-art gym, providing an attractive venue
for our basketball and volleyball teams as well as physical
education classes. As a result, the old gym was renovated to
create the theater and new art and music rooms. Funding for
the gym part of this improvement was raised from a capital
campaign. While many volunteers worked to make this vision a
reality, there is a debt remaining related to the gym - $1,615,000.
Library Services
Villa Madonna Academy strives to stay abreast of the latest
library resources, so our 21st century learners can experience a
broad array of content. Effective library programs provide
inviting spaces, up-to-date resources, and opportunities for
powerful learning experiences so that
students and teachers can gather ideas,
exchange points of view, and learn together.
The academy currently has two libraries
serving the student population. Each year
a budget is developed so that additional
books and resources are included.
Libraries are critical to developing a
variety of skills – grammar, literacy,
writing, critical thinking, inquiry and
more. Your donation will help ensure
that we continue to add to our collection
– books, magazines, newspapers, e-books
and content-related technology.

Athletic Programs
Students are provided the opportunity to participate in one or more
extra-curricular athletic activity. The
athletic program strives to foster
students’ physical skills and sense of
worth and increase individual athletic
competence. The academy offers a wide
variety of sports for everyone – basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, track
and field, golf, tennis, softball and
cheerleading.
Religious Studies
Villa Madonna Academy takes religious studies seriously.
The academy extols the virtues of St. Benedict, the 5th
century founder of the Benedictine Order. The sisters of
St. Walburg Monastery sponsor the school. The Diocese of
Covington provides guidance on courses so that students
have a deep understanding of the Church, Catholicism and
Sacred Scripture.
Advanced Placement (AP)
Providing choices for our 21st century learners is important.
Not all students feel AP opportunities are the right fit. But for
those who do, this might be a unique funding choice.
The Advanced Placement (AP) program at the academy is part
of a curriculum in the United States sponsored by the College
Board. We offer to high school students standardized courses
that are generally recognized to be equivalent to undergraduate
courses in college. Participating colleges grant credit to students
who obtain high enough scores on the exams to qualify. AP
courses also provide the necessary leverage our students need
to matriculate to the college of their choice.
Tuition Assistance
Villa Madonna Academy strives to be all-inclusive -- not only
because it demonstrates the Benedictine values, but because
it is the right thing to do. Yes, we embrace diversity – ethnic,
income and ability.
It would be wonderful if everyone could afford private, Catholic
education, but that is not the case. Not everyone has enough
financial resources to pay full tuition. While standard tuition
assistance programs can help some families, there is still a gap
left between what the program can offer and what a family can
afford to pay. This is where your generosity can impact the
family. How profound would it be if the student you assisted
today performed the same act of kindness down the road for
someone else?
The Arts
Villa Madonna Academy appreciates the arts – visual and
performing. It is our philosophy that learning goes beyond
traditional classes offered; the inclusion of the arts is critical to
forming students who are well-rounded and understand the
power of creativity.
Mission Support
Villa Madonna Academy depends on the generosity of its
alumni, parents, corporations and general donors for gifts to
help fund all aspects of school operations, including academics,
arts and athletics and the margin of excellence that sets the school
apart. Education has become more and more costly; increasingly,
tuition does not cover all expenses. Private gifts and donations
as well as growth in endowment are an important part of the
future for all Catholic schools, and Villa Madonna Academy is
no exception. Consider an unrestricted donation in the category
of Mission Support, and the school administration will allocate
your donation to the areas of greatest need.
Donations made to Mission Support will:
• Fund our endowment
• Provide tuition assistance
• Provide a grades 6-12 One-to-One iPad program over a three-year period
• Pay utility bills and provide continual maintenance, which is very important
• Lessen the tuition gap, i.e., the cost a family pays for tuition versus the cost to deliver instruction
• Fund capital needs
• So much more
Scholarships
When you establish a scholarship at VMA, you are investing in
the future of our students.
Memorial & Honorariums
Choose to honor an extraordinary person and their love by
making a gift in their honor or memory.

Supporting Villa in a Big Way
Our traditions are founded on the relationships built and sustained since 1904 with our alumni, parents, past parents, and friends. These meaningful connections result in the tremendous support received each year. On the following pages you will find the names of those who continue to
remain connected to Villa Madonna Academy through their generous contributions to our Annual Support Campaign and special projects.
In past years, we have separated supporters by class donations. In order to ensure proper space to share the accomplishments and successes
of Villa students we decided this year to combine the list of supporters. We would love to hear your feedback on this change. .

• $101, 063.97 was raised at VillaRama 2012.
• 432 patrons were in attendance.
• Principals Soshana Bosley & Pamela McQueen introduced
the One-to-One iPad Program.
We asked you to “Meet me on the Boardwalk”, and that you did! VillaRama 2012 was a rousing success, generating over $100,000. Parents, alumni,
and generous businesses came together for one important cause – to raise funds for school programs and need-based tuition assistance. Our
guests enjoyed libations and dinner, bid on live and silent auction items, and took part in our fund-a-need auction raising money to implement
the One-to-One iPad Program. The success of this event was made possible by hundreds of volunteers who generously gave their time and talents.

A Message
from our Principals
Mrs. McQueen, VMA High School Principal
Dear Villa Parents, Alumni and Friends,
There is no greater satisfaction than being a part of Villa Madonna Academy.
As I meet teachers and students in the hallways and classrooms, I feel the great spirit that
connects us and lies at the heart of all we do. The first words we see each day are the
words of William Butler Yeats: Knowledge is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a
fire. How true here at Villa as teachers and students work together to discover, to learn, to
reach beyond the expected, to make a difference in the world.
As we celebrate the success of our students and teachers, we look forward to continuing the tradition of
excellence that makes us one of the premier schools in the area. In last year’s graduating class, students were awarded
acceptance at eighty-one different colleges and universities, including the United States Naval Academy. Universities
from Penn State to Carnegie Mellon, from Northwestern to the University of South Carolina welcomed Villa
students. With over $6,000,000 in scholarship monies, these students began their college careers.
This year has been yet another successful year for our teachers and students. We are the only school in the
Diocese to have three National Merit Finalists, one National Merit Semi-Finalist, and two National Merit
Commended students. Villa’s ACT scores surpass all schools in the area, and our students continue to earn honors
in academic, art, and athletic competitions. The 1:1 iPad pilot program is a great success, and the realignment to
grades 7-12 has been a positive experience which we will continue to grow and develop.
The seniors and eighth-graders are phenomenal classes, and their contributions to Villa and our community
are many. May God continue to bless these students, and all of our students. Blessings and thank you to our parents
for entrusting your children to our Catholic, Benedictine school.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission:
The mission of Villa Madonna
Academy is to educate
students in grades K-12 for
full Christian participation
in 21st century life. Villa is
committed to forming
students who seek God in
the Benedictine tradition
of reverence and peace,
Mrs. Bosley, VMA Elementary School Principal
scholarship, service and
Dear Villa Parents, Alumni and Friends,
The 2011-2012 school year was one filled with many academic achievements, service
to others and commitment to the Benedictine values for our 335 students in grades K-8.
Once again this year our students represented Villa Madonna Academy at the state level in
geography, spelling, writing and foreign language competitions. The students’ achievements
on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and EXPLORE test were impressive. Students at every grade
level consistently scored above their anticipated scores. These scores, along with the consistently high academic
performance of our students, reflect our teachers’ commitment to teaching excellence, parental support and
students’ efforts. The results show that our students are on track to be very successful in high school and in college.
Throughout the year, the faculty continued to work to use best practices by creating meaningful activities
for students to learn concepts. Faculty meetings featured mini-workshops presented by faculty members on ways
to integrate technology into the curriculum. Teachers in grades 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7/8 piloted the use of iPads in the
classroom. Various apps have been found to be successful in aiding student understanding of concepts being taught
in the classroom.
On November 30, Dr. Jim Bisenius presented to faculty, students and parents. His presentation, Bully-Proofing
Youth, was a practical and effective program. While here, he taught students what kids who target look for in those
they pick on and how to stop giving those reactions. Students are still talking about his program and using what
they learned to be more confident individuals.
There are so many fantastic programs happening at Villa. Our enthusiastic and dedicated teachers strive daily
to use best practices in order to continue the excellence in education that is the Benedictine tradition at Villa
Madonna Academy. Parents consistently assist our teachers and administration through their many volunteer
efforts. Our students come to school ready and eager to learn. With this winning partnership between school and
home supported by over 107 years of values based Catholic education in the Benedictine way, every child receives
the best educational experience offered in the region.
Thank you for your continued support of our efforts. Having the support of family, community, alumni and
friends, makes it possible for our teachers to continue their outstanding efforts in educating.
community.
O u r Vi s i o n :
Villa Madonna Academy,
a co-ed Catholic school
serving students in grades
K-12, accepts the challenge
of preparing students to
respect themselves and
others, to have a sense of
self-discipline, to accept
personal responsibility for
their attitudes and actions,
and to dedicate themselves
to academic excellence and
life-long learning.
