Visitation Catholic School
Do you value a Christian education for your children? We still pray in school!
Visitation Catholic School is accredited by the State of Illinois and the Office of Catholic Schools, Archdiocese of Chicago.
Visitation Catholic School accepts all students regardless of race, color or creed. Visitation is a Catholic School where the Catholic Faith is taught in word and action, but it is not necessary for school families to be Catholic or to attend Catholic services. We do hope that our families are Church-going families.
Visitation Catholic School encourages an atmosphere in which children’s minds and spirits flourish from the youngest three-year-old through the eighth graders, where parents are partners, and where teachers are free to do their job of providing an excellent education. Our graduates have a great record of completing high school and going on to college. Parents who attended Visitation bring their children here as soon as they are old enough.
We want parents to choose Visitation because they have seen for themselves the value of the choice they are making. We invite prospective parents to call or drop in, talk with us and see the building. We want to talk with you before you make this important decision that will make such a difference to your children, so please come and see us! Catholic education is an investment in your child’s future.
