Ursuline Academy of New Orleans enjoys the distinction of being both the oldest, continuously-operating school for girls and the oldest Catholic school in the United States.
High staff turn over has become a problem in the last 3 years. Current administration appears to be working on it, but taking the most cost-effective route will only continue to result in increase turn-over and simply average teachers.

Ursuline Academy is an excellent choice for girls! The curriculum is well rounded, rigorous, and fun! Girls are challenge to be critical thinkers and are taught the value of service and “agape” love of God, self, and others. The school is inclusive. Teacher’s and leadership are engaging and care about the students. Sports and extra curricular activities are at top levels-super fun, super cool! And let me tell you, lunch time, does not t disappoint. This was my daughter’s first year at UA . She transitioned from a public school so she had some adjusting to do, so the teachers and staff jumped right in to support her through and now she’s entering UA high school! In all, I’m glad we made the right choice in school for my girl! I’m glad that she is an Ursuline girl!!
The atmosphere at Ursuline is very positive and welcoming. Definitely a good choice for students who are looking to feel like they are apart of a small, close-knit type of community.
The one thing that would be nice to see change would be the rate of turnover with teachers currently. This causes a slight disruption in that familiar, comforting feel that most Ursuline students experience.
