Visitation School

Visitation School is a Catholic day school in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, serving 500–700 students from pre-K through grade 12. Boys and girls learn together through fifth grade; from sixth grade onward, the school is all-girls. This transition structure is intentional. It lets younger students benefit from coeducation while giving middle and high school girls a focused, single-sex learning environment during key developmental years.

Salesian spirituality is not a name on the mission statement here—it shapes how faculty teach and lead. The philosophy centers on the whole child: spiritual growth, academics, emotional health, physical development, and cultural engagement receive equal weight. Teachers integrate values into daily work without compartmentalizing faith as a separate subject. That requires educators who are comfortable with that integration and see it as a strength, not a constraint.

Visitation offers language programs in French, Spanish, and Chinese, opening doors for faculty who specialize in world languages or bring multilingual capacity to other subjects. The day-school model is also distinctive. Faculty build deep, continuous relationships with students and families while keeping clear personal boundaries—a real advantage over residential models where the boundary blur never stops.

Hiring spans classroom teaching, languages, academic support, and administrative roles across all grade levels. The school seeks educators who embrace its Catholic mission and understand why single-sex education matters for adolescent girls.

For teaching professionals in the Twin Cities seeking a values-centered community with genuine linguistic breadth, Visitation School offers substantive work rooted in clear educational philosophy.
