A Powerful Education for Joyful Minds
Visitation students have an appetite for learning, nourished by our experienced faculty and outstanding liberal arts and sciences program. We teach writing, speaking, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills in every discipline, but it’s the environment—energetic and collaborative—that takes learning to another level. Classrooms are vibrant, and girls work together to achieve their personal best. A Visi education is as enjoyable as it is challenging, and our motivated students are well prepared for very selective colleges, varied careers, and all aspects of life.

Little Virtues. Immense Impact. Home to the Sisters of the Visitation for centuries, Visitation is a spiritual home for the entire school community. We are
steeped in the Little Virtues advocated by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal— values such as kindness, humility, simplicity, gentleness, patience, and cheerful optimism. The result is a peaceful, faithfilled environment, where teachers delight in accompanying students on their spiritual journey. Through Mass, Christian Service, retreats, religion class, and prayer, students find balance as they explore and strengthen their personal faith.

Sisters in Spirit... and Life
Optimism and compassion are contagious at Visitation, passed from one student to the next. In this all-girl environment, students feel empowered to be collaborative classmates, enthusiastic fans, and truly themselves. Our teachers know how to teach girls, who respond by developing their talents while celebrating the talents of others. Girls become leaders and supporters, devoted friends and extended family, united in the spirited enjoyment of all things Visi and ready to take on the world.

Join the Tradition. Make It Your Own. When you become a Visi girl, you are joining a timeless community bound by shared experiences and amazing growth. Here remarkable girls become extraordinary young women while taking pleasure—and pride—in a host of school traditions, exuberant and sacred. These traditions leave an indelible mark. Visitation graduates stay connected to classmates, teachers, and the school while joining a network of Visitation alumnae eager to help one another. In becoming part of our rich history, students are primed to make their own.

A Capital Location. A World of Opportunities.
Georgetown isn’t just in our name. It’s at the core of who we are and what we offer our students. Accessible from Maryland, Virginia, and the District, the school provides proximity to the capital’s many opportunities from a beautiful, safe, and tranquil campus. Whether enjoying the freedom of our 23 leafy green acres, exploring historic Georgetown, tapping the vast resources of adjacent Georgetown University, or engaging firsthand in Washington learning experiences, our students grow in confidence and independence.

Be Who You Are and Be That Well. Visitation students have plentiful opportunities to realize St. Francis’s exhortation to “Be who you are and be that well.� Through superb academics, arts and athletics, co-curricular activities, religious study, retreats, and service, girls explore and achieve their potential. Just as importantly, they realize that to become their best selves, they must not only discover their God-given gifts, but use them for others. Our well-rounded and well-balanced students become assured and involved graduates who contribute meaningfully, in college and beyond.
