History

Then-Bishop of Trenton Thomas Walsh arranged the acquisition of the 44 acres Fisk Estate in 1920 with the assistance of New York-based Catholic philanthropist James Cox Brady. The new school and the surrounding estate were named after Brady's late wife, Victoria. Villa Victoria Academy was opened in 1933 by the Religious Teachers Filippini with a total of students. The school's first high school graduation took place in 1937. The school and its campus would gradually expand over the following decades. Modern science laboratories were built in the 1950's, a new high school building was constructed during the 1960's, and a 990 seat auditorium was finished in the 1980's.
