Tuition & Financial Grants
Our Financial Grant Philosophy
Visitation offers an excellent academic experience that is defined by high standards of achievement, close personal interactions with faculty and a clear sense of purpose. From Montessori Pre-K to grade five, Visitation welcomes boys and girls into an environment in which they thrive together. In grades 6-12, we offer a uniquely empowering experience for girls. The result is a wonderful richness of options that provides many chances for each student to find and nurture new talents and to be prepared for future successes. Learn more about the Vis difference!
Visitation School is committed to working with families to help provide affordable access to a Visitation education. We value a diverse student body that brings together students with many different talents and experiences from a variety of backgrounds.
For the 2024-25 school year, Visitation committed more than $2.2 million to the need-based financial grant program. Students in kindergarten through grade 12 are eligible to apply for these funds, and nearly 40% of Visitation students receive a financial grant. All awards are based on demonstrated need, with the Financial Grant Committee reviewing each case individually.
We recognize that for some families, the full tuition stretches resources beyond the family budget. Through Visitation's financial grants program, we strive to make a Vis education affordable.
