The school is located 5 minutes from Kanata and 25 minutes west of downtown Ottawa   The property provided the setting for the summer program of the University of Ottawa Child Study Centre from 1958 until 1981. Venta's founder, Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas  renovated the facilities and opened Venta Preparatory School on September 14, 1981.
