I started Vis in my Junior year and it's been an amazing experience so far. I've always been hesitant to join an all girls school because we can be very cliquey, but you'll find your people. The teachers are willing to help you and even if you're shy (like me) you'll experience the valuable relationship you have with your teachers. The food is a little strange sometimes but overall it's really good and they have a lot of variety. School spirit is also really great.

Visitation is a great educational atmosphere that prepares students for college. It readies young woman in both academics concepts and social relationships.

The overall vibe of the school is usually stressed out, but the student culture is really great(or at least my class is). The emphasis on sisterhood and being "not for school but for life" is evident as well. Overall, it is a great place, I have almost never felt unsafe and 95% of the people are really nice and welcoming. The teachers are good and are always available if you need help. There are lots of options for sports as well and no cuts so you can just go and have fun if you want. Also the club and elective choices are good.

This school is not what it once was. Staff is rude and unqualified. Not worth the money. Go anywhere else.

If you have a boy then they should not be sent to this school. The boy ratio is low and if you child isn't part of the in-crowd they are ignore and the teachers say the right things but nothing about bullying gets done. This school went with Singapore Math. They switched kids who hadn't had it befor...

With so many options of amazing schools in the Twin Cities please do not put Visitation on your short list. With the current director of the school leaving this institution and its reputation is at an all time low. Very little to offer in resources. This is not a school for everyone, something their...
