Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School is a private college-preparatory school for girls located in the historic Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown. Founded in 1799 by the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary (also known as the Visitation Sisters), it is one of the oldest continuously-operating schools for girls in the country and the city[3] as well as the oldest Catholic school for girls in the original Thirteen Colonies.[4] It is located within the Archdiocese of Washington, but operates independently of the Archdiocese.
