Visitation Academy

Visitation Academy is an independent Catholic day school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 500–700 students from pre-school through grade 12. The school operates two distinct learning models under one roof: a coeducational Montessori program for toddlers and kindergarteners, and an all-girl classical curriculum from first grade onward. This dual structure means teachers work across different pedagogies—a real advantage for educators who want exposure to both Montessori methods and traditional instruction without changing schools.

The school's spiritual foundation comes from the Sisters of the Visitation, whose tradition emphasizes kindness, gentleness, and genuine concern for others. Rather than treating faith as a separate subject, teachers weave these values into daily classroom practice. History lessons, literature discussions, and even math instruction reflect this integrated approach, creating a school culture where academic rigor and spiritual formation move together.

Language learning is woven throughout the curriculum. French, Latin, and Spanish are taught across grade levels, so the school actively hires language specialists and teachers who can connect linguistic study to history and literature. Early childhood educators who hold Montessori certification find dedicated hiring pathways here as well.

As a day school, Visitation Academy appeals to faculty who want strong community involvement without residential expectations. Saint Louis educators can maintain clear boundaries between work and home life—a practical advantage many independent schools cannot offer. You keep your evenings and weekends yours while remaining deeply engaged during school hours.

Current openings span classroom teaching, language instruction, Montessori specialists, and administrative roles. Fall hiring typically peaks, though positions open year-round.
