Match Met! Help us finish off our wishlist including a universal laser cutter and vinyl cutter.
The match was generously offered by Theresa and John Cosgriff, parents of Lucy, a 7th grader at Visitation Middle School.
From our youngest learners to seniors ready to launch into the world, the OPUS Hall STEM Center encourages Visitation students to try new things, to build a variety of projects, stretch their critical thinking skills, collaborate with others and dream!
Visitation School Opus Hall STEM Center is utilized by all three divisions during the school day and after school. Science at Visitation is inquiry-based, allowing students to creatively explore the world around them and effectively solve problems. Students gain a number of valuable life skills in their science courses. They develop a deeper curiosity about natural and human-made phenomena; gain the skills to safely handle equipment and technology; master the methods of scientific inquiry; develop an understanding of proper experimental design; and much more--all alongside our master science faculty.
Girls’ schools are leading the way in STEM education for women in the world. Graduates of girls’ schools are six times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology and three times more likely to consider engineering compared to girls who attended coed schools.
Did you know? 45% of the Visitation class of 2023 indicated they would pursue a STEM degree in college.
Girls’ schools are leading the way in STEM education for women in the world. Research tells us it’s for a variety of reasons, but most notably, it’s that students at girls’ schools have an unlimited number of STEM role models. Research findings note it’s beneficial and powerful for girls, in particular, “to see it in order to be it.” So when every student in advanced calculus and physics or on the esports team is a girl, then every other girl at the school gets the clear message they can excel in those areas.
Due to increased interest, Visitation Lower School will offer three LEGO Robotic teams for boys and girls in grades 3-5 in the 23-24 school year.
