Science at Visitation School

Throughout their lives, our students will encounter vast amounts of sensory input and ever-increasing stores of information. Scientific instruction helps students gain the cognitive and interpretive skills, as well as the self-discipline, they need to creatively explore their world and effectively solve problems.

WHAT STUDENTS GAIN

• Mastery of time-tested methods of scientific inquiry.
• The ability to collect, measure, organize and analyze data in order to draw logical conclusions.
• An understanding of proper experimental design, including observation, prediction, data collection and analysis.
• Skills to safely handle, construct and manipulate materials, equipment and technology.
• Curiosity about natural and human-made phenomena.
• An appreciation for the contributions science has made to daily life.

In grades 6-12, Visitation School focuses on offering a uniquely empowering experience to girls. They learn to speak confidently, lead eagerly and live comfortably in their own skin. They come to see themselves as they are: impressive young women, ready for the world. In Visitation’s all-girls Middle and Upper Schools, we know girls and we know how girls learn best.

A SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

Nationwide data indicate that girls in single-sex environments feel more engaged in learning, are prouder of their work and hold higher expectations for future achievement than their peers at coed schools. These are positive dimensions of all-girls learning that we see at Visitation every day. In class and beyond, our girls receive a profoundly empowering education, and it shows. They are confident, competent learners. They are capable leaders. And they will be for life.
