Who We Are
Visitation School provides an excellent education within a Catholic environment permeated by Salesian spirituality and the living tradition of the Visitation Sisters.
We are an independent, Catholic school founded in 1873 by the Sisters of the Visitation of Holy Mary. We educate boys and girls from Montessori Pre-K through grade five and all girls in grades six to twelve. A Visitation education is more than just academic achievement; it's about growth and wholeness in mind, body and spirit. We provide an education that is not for school, but for life. Learn more about sending your child to Visitation.

All-Girls Middle & Upper School
We asked Visitation students why they love attending an all-girls school where they can focus fully on learning, and feel comfortable being themselves in the classroom, in the lab, on the stage or on the field.
