Great 6 years for my daughter. Small school setting, beautiful and compact campus. Opportunities in STEM and well as the arts.

3.0 Alum

UA was a very welcoming community. Was a small school and very rigorous but all the girls were very supportive of each other due to that rigor.

2.0 Senior

It's gotten better, but the board only cares about money and not the students. If I had the choice knowing what I know now of the school, so wouldn't go.

Ursuline Academy has given our daughter the opportunity to be the best version of herself academically, as well as athletically. During these formative years, it was important that we could rely on a school that assisted us, as parents, in building confidence in our daughter and helping her to achie...
