Profile Georgetown Prep is the oldest Catholic School for young men in the nation. We just celebrated our 227th year of educating men of competence, conscience, commitment and compassion; men of faith, men for others. Georgetown Prep offers a rigorous, liberal arts education that encourages growth in mind, body, and spirit. As a boarding and day school, we foster a close-knit, global learning environment that challenges each student to achieve their utmost potential within small class sizes. Georgetown Prep students excel in academics, the arts, and athletics. However, at the heart of our education is a call to be men in service to others who will as St. Ignatius exhorted, “ite inflammate onmia”, go forth and set the world on fire. By setting the bar high for our young men, we push them to be their very best. As a result, each year our graduates matriculate to some of the best colleges and universities in the world.

tuition Assistance and Scholarships We provide $2.5 million in financial aid with an average grant of $19,000. We do not provide any merit scholarships as, due to our admission criteria, nearly all of our accepted pool could qualify for merit recognition. We save all our aid for those who could not otherwise afford a Prep education.

Profile Georgetown Visitation is a Catholic college preparatory school for girls in grades 9-12.

Providing a powerful education for joyful minds, Georgetown Visitation prepares motivated young women for successful futures by nourishing their enthusiasm for learning and challenging them to “be who you are and be that well.” Indeed Visi girls discover their best selves by engaging in our varied opportunities—enriched by our prime Georgetown location—and by exploring their faith. Our Salesian Spirituality, and the values known as the Little Virtues, have an immense impact. Students become not only well-rounded, but well-balanced—proud and humble, strong and gentle, passionate and compassionate, and spirited and deeply spiritual. They support one another, because they know that every girl can lead, shine, and achieve her potential when boosted by friends who will last a lifetime. In joining our long tradition, students delight in sharing it with their Visi sisters and in making it their own.

Our electives range from neuroscience to creative writing. There are many opportunities to join one of our Lewis Cup-champion sports teams, sing with one of our award-winning performing arts groups, head a new school club, attend retreats, and participate in domestic and international service trips.

tuition Assistance and Scholarships Each year, we award over $2 million in financial aid, based primarily on need, but includes several merit scholarships. To process aid applications, we use NAIS’s School and Student Services (SSS), which applies a consistent, objective formula to calculate the amount of money a family has available to contribute to education costs.

Service to Students with Special Needs The Learning Support Department works with students who may need additional academic support and offers freshman- and sophomore-level courses that help build tools necessary for student success.

transportation Most students carpool; the school directory allows parents to search by zip code. Others choose to take public transportation.
