Mission
Visitation BVM School is a beacon of hope to the families of our diverse community. Through fostering positive relationships, we bring about unity in our diversity. Through addressing the unique needs of the whole child and recognizing each as a gift from God, we instill in our students a recognition not only of their giftedness but the giftedness of each person. We provide them with the tools and inspiration to be people of faith, life-long learners, and responsible global citizens.
