Support UA
From the very beginning, more than 175 years ago, Ursuline Academy has empowered young women to impact the world with the profound commitment, Serviam.
“I will serve.” The defining act of an Ursuline girl is this promise. And behind every promise fulfilled is the generosity of the Ursuline community.
A Legacy Rooted in St. Angela Merici
More than 500 years later, Saint Angela Merici still guides us today. Her words remain as powerful and relevant as ever, inspiring generations of Ursuline Academy students to lead with faith, courage, and love. A woman ahead of her time—and still a role model for ours.
When you invest in Ursuline Academy, you invest in these core values.

Your gift at any level is greatly appreciated.

is funded by the generous tax-deductible donations of current parents and other donors.
