Villanova Initiative for Engaging Women



 

Our mission is to prepare talented girls from select high schools in the Philadelphia School District for admission and persistence in college while providing skills needed to succeed in their upper-level education. Our VIEW students participate in a 4-year program of intense academic achievement in English, Global Citizenship, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics), and Visual Literacy.  The program partners with Villanova's School of Business to provide exposure to careers in business. The program is enhanced with advanced computer and informational skills along with continuous exposure to cultural enrichment.

VISION

A diverse community of female thought leaders prepared for a global society.
Motto: “Changing Lives, One Girl at a Time"

SCHOOL YEAR PROGRAM 

  • VIEW is a Four Year Program.
  • Applications open in the fall.
  • SAT Prep Classes for Sophomores and Juniors
  • Monthly Lunch and Learns
  • Freshman Meet and Greet, Sophomore Leadership Workshops, Junior Personal and Professional Development Workshops

SUMMER PROGRAM

VIEW offers a two-week program at Villanova University's campus during the summer where the VIEW students are invited to experience "College 101". During this time, they will:

  • Follow a college-like schedule
  • Participate in academic classes to enhance knowledge and skill
  • Engage in activities that cultivate their minds
  • Trips
  • Community Service

Along with the school year program,  these two components support achievement while also familiarizing students with the demands of college. Small classes of no larger than 20, and a counselor ratio of 6 students to 1, provide the support necessary for individual attention. 

The mentoring program connects students to VIEW on a daily basis throughout the school year.
