About

Ursuline Academy is an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school for young women in grades 7-12. Founded in 1946, Ursuline Academy in Dedham operates under the sponsorship of the international network of Ursuline Sisters, the oldest religious teaching order devoted to the education of young women.

Admissions

Our Admissions team welcomes families for tours throughout the year, and we sponsor events designed for students to explore our campus, sit in on classes, and to get to know our community. Ours is a holistic approach to knowing each student as we review qualifications for admissions. Learn why families choose Ursuline, and how our graduates become young women of character, faith and scholarship!

ACADEMICS

Ursuline Academy offers a rigorous program of study designed to challenge and inspire students, and our faculty encourage their love of learning, reading, and scholarly exploration in the pursuit of truth. Our graduates are fully prepared to study, analyze, and communicate persuasively to meet the challenges of university work.

LIVING THE MISSION

The values of an Ursuline education– a Catholic education– were established centuries ago when Saint Angela Merici dedicated her life to forming a company of young women engaged in bettering their communities. At Ursuline, we challenge our students to live lives of integrity that reflect the principles of Catholic social teaching, and to be Christ to one another in today’s world. We welcome students of all faiths, and support every student on her spiritual journey.

History of the Tournament

Established in 1992, the annual Fore the Girls Golf Tournament brings parents, alumnae, and supporters in the Ursuline community together, to enjoy a day of golf to benefit our young women athletes. This annual golf event wouldn’t be successful without the many sponsors who share their philanthropy with us, as well as the committee who work to bring this event together. Ursuline Academy fields teams in 14 interscholastic sports, and can proudly claim that over 70 percent of Ursuline students play at least one sport, allowing them to compete with grace while they represent their school. The annual Fore the Girls Golf Tournament provides valuable support for all of the athletic programs at Ursuline Academy.
