I want to make a group versus a page because I've been doing research and most sources say that pages are usually open to the public. The groups I want to set up must have some visibility but not so much that anyone can see updates and posts from the group.
Facebook – Is it possible to make groups on a business Facebook page

You are currently permitted to post up to 63,206 characters on Facebook in a status group or wall post. There is no difference.
In September, we increased the character limit on status updates to 5,000 characters. Today, we're announcing that you can now write posts with more than 60,000 characters. (1)

- Secret groups make it impossible for students to join it if they have not been invited.
- Pages are what you need because the information will be publicly available without the need of "being friend" or "asking to join".
So, take the 2 and leave the 1.
Additionally, there is another Facebook feature you could make use of to link the different pages: interest lists. The goal of a list is to feature a set of pages. Anyone could overview what pages exist and then decide either to like them or not.

I'm afraid you can't control post visibility individually using groups or pages. In a group you can set that, either everybody sees all of the content, or members only. For pages, most of the posts are public, but you can set, that only people from a specific country or speaking a specific language will see the post.
But you can do it as a user. So, may be you can create a user instead of a page?
