Visitation is hiring! Learn more!
Head of School Rene Gavic offers a message of gratitude and hope this Thanksgiving.
Visitation students go forth into the world prepared to change it for the better. They go forth competent, courageous, and caring.
With today’s easy access to information, students require more than the breadth of knowledge that schools emphasized in the past. In our dynamic, globalized world, students need to be critical thinkers and innovative explorers. They need to be creative, and adaptable. They need to collaborate and communicate effectively. And they need to be self-reliant and resilient.
That is why at Visitation we say education is Non Scholae, Sed Vitae – not for school, but for life. We guide our students in their formation, an intentional process of individual growth that shapes intellectual, moral, physical and spiritual development.
To help our students, from the littlest to the seniors, prepare for this changing world, our rigorous curriculum and enlightened instruction model provide versatile learning opportunities, encourage responsible independence and ensure deep engagement with classmates and faculty, which is at the heart of a Visitation education. Our academic and co-curricular programs provide opportunities for personal expression and leadership while nurturing the close, caring bonds that characterize the Vis experience.
Underpinning all this is a faith legacy that emphasizes the Salesian virtues of gentleness, patience, humility, and liberty of spirit. Students learn to joyfully live out the maxim of Saint Francis de Sales: “Be who you are and be that well.”
Visitation students go forth into the world prepared to change it for the better. They go forth competent, courageous, and caring. And we rejoice in their future, and the chance we have had to be part of their extraordinary lives.
