DRESS CODE - A “Dress Code” is an important standard for Visitation Academy. It must fit appropriately, be clean and worn with pride. Here at Visitation Academy, we place emphasis on forming students into the Christian leaders God calls them to be by emphasizing the importance of a well-rounded individual; an individual focused not just on physical appearance, but on the human, intellectual, spiritual, and apostolic impact he or she has on those around them. School uniforms help us in this mission.
