Ever true to its motto, Non Scholae, Sed Vitae; Not for School, but for Life, Convent of the Visitation School has prepared students for life beyond its walls since the school’s founding in 1873.  Through an uninterrupted procession of over 130 years, graduating classes have distinguished themselves in remarkable ways, not the least of which has been their embracing and promoting of the special Salesian charism infused so beautifully by the Sisters of the Visitation.  To keep alive and well the palpable spirit of the Sisters, we work diligently to promote the school’s mission; to provide an excellent education within a Catholic environment rooted in Salesian spirituality.
At Visitation we treasure each student as a child of God and seek to promote growth in each aspect of her/his being.  Ours is a school that honors tradition while being forward-focused.  We encourage each student to make the most of their God-given gifts – to stretch, grow, and reach for the stars.  We promote leadership from early on and are ever amazed at our students’ zest in embracing a culture that is rooted in service to others.
There exists great energy at Visitation borne of the many partnerships that exist among the Sisters, students, parents, alumnae/i, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees.  And while we dearly cherish the relationships that exist within our school community, we look forward with great anticipation to developing connections with those who newly embrace the spirit of Visitation School.
