About
“Be who you are and be that well.” The wise words of Visitation Order co-founder St. Francis de Sales form the heart of a Georgetown Visitation education. The high school years are a time of discovery, not just of knowledge and skills, but also of yourself and your potential.
Visitation provides the spiritual grounding, challenging academics, plentiful co-curricular opportunities, and supportive and joyous community that enable our students to cultivate their God-given gifts. And they do—with confidence and enthusiasm.
Visi girls are friends and fans, classmates and teammates, companions and confidants. While striving for their personal best, they collaborate and support one another, creating an inclusive and caring community where all are embraced and each can shine. Here, optimism and compassion are contagious.
Every day, we live the Salesian Little Virtues of kindness, gentle strength, humility, and thoughtful concern for others, honoring and respecting the uniqueness of each individual while fostering an inclusive and caring community.
We invite you to discover Visitation and see how we help each girl to be who she is and be that well.
