The educational traditions of Mount de Chantal are rooted in the spirit of the Visitation Order and the teachings of its founders, Saints Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal. This spirituality emphasizes a deep faith in God, a recognition of the uniqueness of each person, and a strong yet gentle love for others. Essential to this heritage is a faculty and staff who are committed to the development of each student's academic and personal potential, growth in understanding of self and others and service in and beyond the Mount community.

Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy is a community that encourages students to develop their unique gifts in an environment that values excellence in scholarship, spirituality, interpersonal relationships, and physical well being.

In our quest for excellence in scholarship, we believe:

• students are responsible for their education.

• in intellectual honesty.

• in developing lifelong learners.

• in developing critical thinkers who are engaged in a creative process of learning.

• in proactive problem solving.

• students should have a variety of opportunities for self-expression.

• in setting realistic goals and devising effective strategies to achieve the goals.

• in growing the ability to live creative lives and meeting the challenges of a constantly changing world.

• in technology as a tool that is critical to the learning process in the 21^st century.

• in education in a single sex environment for grades 5 - 12.
