Welcome to Ursuline Academy – a student-centered community that has championed strong, curious, and self-confident leaders since 1893.
For nearly 130 years, we have been an educational leader in technology and innovation, academic excellence, and holistic development, creating trailblazers who are service-oriented, intellectually-curious, and globally-minded. By coupling state-of-the-art resources, programs, and curriculum with more than a century of school traditions based on the ideals of service, camaraderie, and sisterhood, our students understand their important role in our legacy by learning for today and leading for the future.
There has never been a more exciting time than now to be on our campus. Our recently renovated facilities provide students of all ages with spaces that accommodate their unique needs and interests. Our world-class technology offerings give them opportunities to connect with Ursuline students worldwide through our newly expanded Global Education Program. Our rigorous academic curriculum prepares our students for top-tiered colleges and careers in the nation’s most competitive fields by matching in-classroom learning with real-world partnerships in business and industry. And with a constant eye on the future, we have recently completed work on the vision and goals of Blaze Brighter, Ursuline Academy’s next strategic plan. With this strategic direction, we will push beyond basic expectations to plan for a future that not just meets expectations but defies them by being stronger, greater, and brighter.
