Visitation Academy

Visitation encourages students to develop their unique gifts in an environment that values excellence in scholarship, spirituality, leadership, and service. Our co-ed Montessori program, the oldest in St. Louis, has 50+ years of experience helping children ages two through Kindergarten reach their full potential. Visitation also has the area’s only all-girls program for Grades 1-12. We understand the ways girls learn and create an educational experience that promotes curiosity and free expression, builds confidence, and allows students to, in the words of St. Francis de Sales, “be who you are and be that well in order to give glory to the Divine Artist whose handiwork you are.” Viz girls are poised, intelligent, and self-assured young women, positioned for success in our classrooms, in college, and in life.

The school’s history and tradition are rooted in its Catholic and Salesian identity, but Visitation is going places. Viz is committed to progress and improvement as well as ensuring students are prepared to bring Salesian values into a world that needs them so much. The continued presence of the Sisters provides Visitation with a faithful connection to its identity. Their stewardship of the school’s Salesian identity impressed me; the opportunity to learn from them is a truly unique opportunity. There are many reasons why I love being part of the Viz community, but I keep coming back to one overwhelming thing. During all my interactions with members of the community, I felt a sense of being at home. I encourage you to visit us, talk with our Admission team, and experience it for yourself.
