School History
Overview
Notre Dame High School educates young women to become confident, compassionate Christian leaders.
Each student is guided to reach the fullness of her potential and to use her gifts to make a difference in the world around her.
Notre Dame High School provides a college preparatory program to girls from diverse backgrounds through an environment of differentiated instruction.
In the spirit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and in response to the mission of Jesus in the Catholic tradition, students are educated to integrate lifelong learning, faith and service into their lives.
Visitation Academy is an independent, private Catholic school where students thrive in an environment that allows them to BE: challenged academically, stimulated creatively, encouraged athletically, inspired personally, supported emotionally, filled spiritually, and appreciated and loved for their unique, authentic selves.
From the coeducational, early childhood Montessori program for ages two through Kindergarten to the area's only all-girl program for Grades 1-12, "Be Who You Are and Be That Well" drives Visitation's academic and spiritual philosophy.
Since 1833, Viz has earned its reputation as the place to BE for an all-girl education. Walk the halls and prepare to BE amazed!.
