Founded in 1946, Ursuline Academy is an independent, Catholic all-girls school for young women in grades 7 – 12. Based on the teachings of St. Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline order, we believe in a world in which every young woman is empowered to find her voice, to pursue her passions and discover new ones, to create her individual identity, and to prepare for a life of leadership, faith, and service in the world they will inherit. Our students are challenged by a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum, 20 AP classes, and robust opportunities in arts, athletics, humanities, and technology.
