STAMFORD -- Villa Maria Education Center, a school for 76 children with learning disabilities run by the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters, hopes to convert unused portions of the convent into classrooms and other space for the school.
The school began in 1962 as a tutoring program in the rooms of a nearby carriage house. It then moved into its own building and expanded into the adjacent convent. Villa Maria recently received an approval to increase its enrollment cap to 120.
