The best parts of going to the Academy of Mount Saint Ursula is how much the pushed sisterhood. It was an all girls school and they really believed in women on women bonding and friendships. Working together and getting involved with one another allowed to make friends for life. The worst part was the arts and culture the school was really good on academics but club culture was to strict in my opinion or specifically outdated.

At the Acadmey of Mount St. Ursula I did not just learn the basics such as math, reading, and writing. But I learned how to grow as a person and learned the meaning of sisterhood. Everyone inside and outside of the building teaches you something everyday. I was really involved in the school activities. It was amazing to be a part of something that brought us together. I made some lifelong friends and learned so much about teamwork and creativity.

Going to Ursula was the best decision I ever made because when I first started school at Ursula, I felt so welcomed, coming from a diverse background. The teachers helped me with classes I was struggling with.

My daughter went to this school and this is not a school for emotionally fragile girls. They did not do their best to accommodate my daughter. They are not as flexible as they should with girls with emotional issues. They have teachers that are extremely demanding. I have no complaints as far as the...
