Living the Mission
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.
Arts
The Arts
The Arts at Ursuline are designed to foster a student's creativity and self expression. Students can explore music, drama, and visual arts through both the curriculum and activities sponsored as a part of student life. On-going performances throughout the year provide an opportunity to showcase and celebrate their many talents.
