Your Future Starts Here
A student who values academic excellence balanced with a well-rounded, school-life experience will thrive at Visitation Academy. Viz students want to be challenged, both academically and personally, and partner with faculty across all departments to explore and expand individual areas of academic, spiritual, and extracurricular interest, broadening their knowledge and experience base to reach their fullest potential. Viz students are poised, intelligent, and self- assured, positioned for success in the classroom, in college, and in life.
Viz students are part of a close-knit school community that promotes collaboration, creativity, and the free-flowing exchange of ideas and allows students to, “Be who you are and be that well.” Our student body is drawn from the Catholic elementary schools and public junior high schools, and from many zip codes in the St. Louis metropolitan area, on both sides of the river. Viz welcomes families of all faiths, which contributes to the richness and diversity of the Visitation Academy community.
The admission process gives both parties the opportunity to explore each other’s needs; our utmost concern is for the student and finding the right fit for her/his success. Please select the age group that pertains to your family to learn what is required during the admission process.
