- Visitation Academy of St. Louis
Visitation Academy of St. Louis is a private, all-girls, Roman Catholic high school in St. Louis, Missouri. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis.
Background
Visitation Academy was established in Kaskaskia, Illinois in 1833 by the Sisters of the Visitation. The school moved to St. Louis in 1844, in part due to flooding in Kaskaskia. The school moved again in 1892 and moved once more to their current location in 1962.
