Ursuline Academy Reviews

I love Ursuline. It has become a second home; however, I will be the first to admit that it is not without its flaws. Despite its great D1 sports teams, everyone is too busy with school to attend many games. Though if you are looking for a high school where you are surrounded by people who are dedicated to school and personal and academic success like I was, then this is the place for you. I love Ursuline and as a rising Senior can't wait for all of the special traditions I get to share with my class next year. The social environment here gets better and better every year, but I'll admit it starts off a little shaky though I think this is partly because it is 9-12th only. Go lions!

The best choice I've ever made was to go to Ursuline. It became my second home; I truly couldn't imagine my life without it. I formed close relationships with teachers and irreplaceable bonds with my UA sisters. The retreats/religion department helped me grow in my faith and all other academic departments do their absolute best to prepare you for success. As a college student I can say I was insanely prepared for the rigor of college courses and have no issues with time management or study skills like some of my friends who didn't attend UA. There are so many ways to get involved in clubs, retreats, student council, and service, and I found that taking advantage of all of these really sent my experience over the top. School and class spirit is really high for the most part, especially when administration actually allows for class competitions to take place. Although extremely challenging academically, I had the most amazing time and my favorite memories involve Ursuline.
I love Ursuline Academy! I have learned so much not only in academics, but also life and social skills, as well. I feel that I am getting a one of a kind education, and also making relationships with people that will last a life time.
