• 4×4 Block Schedule – Vianney is one of the only schools in the Midwest with the 4×4 block.
• Size – an average of 635 students - Vianney is large enough to compete at the highest levels and offer many opportunities, but also small enough you can actually PARTICIPATE!
• Leadership – Freshman take a required Leadership class amid other available programs that instill the qualities and characteristics of leaders in our students.
• Family Spirit – Through the Marianist mission of the school we nurture an atmosphere of camaraderie and Family around the school. Schedule a visit and find out yourself.
