Convent of the Visitation School
Convent of the Visitation School, also known as Visitation, is an independent, all-girls, Roman Catholic, college-preparatory, school in Minnesota. It is located in Mendota Heights near Saint Paul. Visitation is a coeducational school for grades PreK-grade 6 and all-girls for grades 7-12. Visitation is the only all-girls secondary school in Minnesota.
A brother school, Saint Thomas Academy, is located right next door and many classes and after school activities involve both schools. Depending on the sport or activity, some of its rival schools are Cretin-Derham Hall, Breck School, St. Paul Academy and Summit School, and The Blake School.
== History ==
Visitation was founded by Sisters of the Visitation in 1873, who traveled up the Mississippi River from St. Louis, Missouri at the request of some prominent businessmen in St. Paul who wished for a strong, Catholic education for their daughters. The Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary was founded in France in 1610. The founders of the order are St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane de Chantal, from whom the order gained its Salesian spirituality. There are sister school locations in St. Louis, MO, Washington, D.C., and Brooklyn, NY, as well as monasteries in other areas throughout the U.S. The current location of the school in Mendota Heights, MN, is the school's fourth location. The school is coeducational from preschool through grade 6 but becomes single-gender in seventh grade. Visitation is the only all-girls Catholic secondary school in Minnesota.
The first graduating class at Visitation had only four members; the class of 2014 is made up of 74 young women.
