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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to attend each tryout session?
Yes. The more the coaches see an athlete, the better her chances of making a team.

Are there cuts?
The number of athletes trying out for each specific sport will determine if there are cuts. Coaches can carry a limited number of athletes on each team. Historically, the running sports do NOT have cuts (Cross Country, Winter Track, and Spring Track and Field).

Can I try out for more than one sport?
No, an athlete can only try out for one sport per season. In the event an athlete does not make her first choice sport, she has the option to join the season’s running sport (Cross Country, Winter Track, and Spring Track and Field).

Is there transportation to offsite venues for practices and games?
Yes. Once school begins, we do provide transportation to the Dedham pool or fields that we use for practice during the weekday.
