Once a GIANT, Always a GIANT                      

I would like to welcome you to the Visitation School website and thank you for your interest in our school.  Please visit the links provided to learn more about our academics, policies, programs, extracurricular activities, and weekly updates.
 
Visitation is a Pre-K through 8th Grade school that has been educating Kewanee area students since 1895.  It is part of the Catholic Diocese of Peoria (IL) and is supported by the St John Paul II Parish of Kewanee. We have a proud tradition of outstanding students, well-prepared and caring teachers and staff, and dedicated parents, all of whom work tirelessly to support our many programs and activities.
 
In alignment with our Catholic identity, students start each day with school-wide prayer. They also have daily religion classes, and join our pastor, Fr. John Zilimu, to celebrate Mass weekly.  On the first Friday of the month, K-8 students take turns participating in a day-long adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. In addition to this strong foundation in Catholic values, our quality academics allow us to develop the whole child so they will become responsible members of their church, community, and country.
 
After visiting our website, I invite you to actually visit our school to see just how exceptional we are.  Come feel the spirit of the "Vis Family," where each child is important and every family is valued.
 
I look forward to meeting you!


Sincerely,


Sheila Cromien, Principal
