Takoma Academy offers a college-prep, rigorous academic program that prepares students with the 21 st century skills needed to be successful in today’s competing market.ahe faculty, administration, and staff of Georgetown Visitation all seek to equip young women with the values, knowledge, skills, wisdom, and confidence they need to meet their fullest potential.  Learning takes place all day on our campus–both inside and outside of the classroom–but our academic program particularly helps our students thrive in the rapidly changing, morally complex world beyond our gates.  

 

Our core courses provide a strong foundation in fundamentals, while an array of electives–including many honors and Advanced Placement classes–allow girls to explore additional interests and reach for new levels of achievement. We both challenge and nurture the students entrusted to our care.
