Ursuline Academy

As a parent, I''ve been so impressed with UA; my daughter is entering her third year. When we were looking for the right school, we wanted a place that would challenge her academically and help her grow, with strong values, real confidence, and genuine support. Ursuline has been exactly that. The academics are rigorous from the start, but we appreciate how thoughtfully they prepare the students. The new courses they''re adding for 2026-27, Directed Research and Inquiry, Cybersecurity, Classical Foundations show the school adapts to changing needs of students. My daughter has an excellent, supportive, group of friends who are involved in theater, singing, sports and leadership. She''s a peer mentor for the upcoming year. It''s been wonderful to watch her develop leadership skills and a real sense of purpose. Tuition can be a hurdle (significant financial aid is available) but the value is incredible, with graduates enrolling at some of the best Universities across the country.

The community is so welcoming and the school encourages the students to be very involved which is a great preparation for later on.

We are very happy with Ursuline - this is our second year at the school. The academic course load has been challenging yet manageable -- challenging academics are the main reason we chose Ursuline. The teachers know our daughters well by the time of conferences in mid-November. Both daughters are very happy with their classes and workload and feel that they are learning much. The administration is open to change and implemented some new programming this year for mental health of the students. Sports are popular at Ursuline -- joining a team is a great way to get to know other classmates. Many of the staff have spent a number of years teaching at Ursuline - a great asset as they know the school and expectations well. There are events and semi-formals with local all-boys' schools. We are happy with our choice!

Ursuline, while small, is a school which encourages its students to pursue big dreams and equips them with the tools to succeed both inside its walls and beyond. The school is continually looking for ways to improve and finding new resources with which to support its students. More importantly, students are also given a platform, and the confidence needed to seek new programs or resources when they see a space for them. I learned to try new things and see opportunity everywhere. The deep-seated knowledge , curiosity, and urge serving others that I have fostered during my six years at Ursuline will stay with me always.

I am a current senior at Ursuline Academy, and I have attended UA since the seventh grade. Over the past six years, I have been transformed by my Ursuline education. At first, my faith was a place I visited on Sundays, not a core part of who I am. As I discovered more about Saint Angela Merici, founder of the Company of St. Ursula, I became inspired to immerse myself in service along with my community at Ursuline and it has changed me. At Ursuline, I cultivated a newfound passion for serving others and learned how to think critically and analytically in my rigorous academic classes. I grew a love for various extracurricular activities and developed a deeper connection to my faith. As I head off to college next year, I will bring my Ursuline experiences, long-lasting friendships, and education with me.

Ursuline has enabled my daughter to engage in learning and leadership opportunities in an environment that is led by caring and supportive administration and teachers. It is a true community in which students across grade levels can connect, support, and encourage each other! Her science and math experience has been a highlight so far. Her coaches have been excellent as well!

Coming to Ursuline has been the best decision for my 9th grade daughter. She has found challenging academics, caring teachers, and 70 sisters for life in her classmates.
