The Visitation Academy provides its young girls
with a curriculum that allows them to feel free to explore their own
strengths and interests, not constrained by gender stereotypes.
Studies have shown that students in single-sex schools focus more on
academics than students in coed schools, develop better
organizational skills, and are more involved in classroom
activities. They have a significantly more positive attitude toward
learning, and many women who attended girls’ schools, continued to
have higher test scores throughout their academic careers.
