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.
