Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy
Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy, Catholic girls' school in Wheeling, United States
The Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy building featured Victorian architecture with brick construction on a limestone foundation and a prominent fine arts section.
Bishop Richard V. Whelan established the institution in 1848, inviting eight Visitation Sisters from Baltimore to open the Wheeling Female Academy for girls' education.
The school maintained high standards in academics and fine arts programs, educating female students from grades five through twelve until its closure in 2008.
The former academy site, purchased by Wheeling Hospital in 2011, underwent demolition and now serves as practice fields for local Catholic high schools.
Two First Ladies of West Virginia, Carrie Watson Fleming and Edna Hall Scott Kump, received their education at Mount de Chantal Visitation Academy.
