Visitation Academy

Visitation Academy is a private, Catholic school educating boys, girls and young women ages 2 to 18 in the spirit of Sts. Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal. Founded in 1833 by the Sisters of the Visitation, the Academy teaches its students to “Live Jesus” and emulates the virtues of joy, humility, simplicity, reverence and respect in everyday life. The Lower School includes both a coed Montessori preschool through Kindergarten and an all-girls program in grades 1 through 6; the Upper School offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum for young women grades 7 through 12.

A Visitation education represents a superior investment in each student’s future. With an average class size of 18, personal attention and a sense of community are hallmarks of the Visitation experience. Thirty-two extracurricular activities, a vibrant fine arts program and numerous opportunities to compete as athletes complement Visitation’s steadfast commitment to academic excellence. College credit classes are offered in 13 subjects, and technology plays an integral role in classroom instruction at all grade levels. One hundred percent of last year’s Upper School graduates were accepted into four-year colleges or universities, and fifteen percent were recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program.
