Non-Discrimination Admissions Policy

Ursuline schools are guided by a set of core values that include respect for the uniqueness of the individual. In this spirit, Ursuline Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, religion, or creed to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, religion or creed in the administration of its education policies, scholarship and financial aid programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. 

The following documents must be completed by the school, but you will be required to enter names and email addresses for the individuals from whom you are requesting these materials:

  • Transcripts (including current grades, report cards, standardized test scores, disciplinary and attendance records from the previous two years)

  • School Administrator or Counselor Report

* Requests for the teacher recommendations and school administrator or counselor report are sent electronically within Ravenna. Therefore, you will be required to indicate the appropriate person at your applicant’s school to receive each of these forms. The school will then submit these items directly to Ursuline Academy.
