Visitation Academy is an independent, Catholic school that encourages students to develop their unique gifts in an environment that values excellence in scholarship, spirituality, leadership, and service. Viz proudly offers a coeducational early childhood program and all-girl environment in Grades 1-12. The Lower School educates Toddler through Kindergartenaged boys and girls in the Montessori method while also providing the area’s only all-girl program in Grades 1-5. A welcoming environment, small class sizes, and the integration of technology throughout the curriculum provide a strong educational foundation. The Middle School builds a bridge from childhood to young adulthood. The Middle School curriculum is centered on the developmental readiness, needs, and interests of girls in Grades 6-8. The Upper School offers a rigorous, four-year college preparatory curriculum for young women in Grades 9-12. A vibrant fine arts program, numerous service opportunities, and more than 32 clubs and organizations complement the Academy’s commitment to academic excellence.
