Mission Statement

We believe in an enriched curriculum fashioned around the child of today who will become the adult of tomorrow. Visitation Academy, founded in 1855, is a faith-centered community rooted in the Roman Catholic faith and Salesian tradition. The heart of a Visitation education is rooted in the spirit of St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal. Respect for the individual is imparted through living the seven little virtues of kindness, gentleness, respect, joy, peace, simplicity, and love.

Visitation Academy provides a unique learning environment for the education of young girls. We are a Nursery through Eighth Grade school which prepares our girls to be responsible women of tomorrow. Our mission is to empower our girls to be morally responsible women of faith, vision, and purpose.

We believe that:

Education is the shared responsibility of the student, home, school, and community
All students have a right to be educated in a safe, supportive, challenging environment where they can learn to be citizens of a culturally diverse society
Effective teaching and learning rests upon the recognition of the unique talents and learning styles of each student
Each student through engaging and challenging academics can become responsible stewards of the world
Each student's self-esteem is fostered by positive relationships with students and faculty
A community of learners working together in a safe, challenging environment that encourage dignity, enthusiasm, and involvement, independence and responsibility through high expectations and cooperation will result in life-long learning and personal growth
