Ursuline Academy St. Louis, MO

At Ursuline Academy, we want to welcome you to come as you are and help you discover who you want to be.

We honor the unique, God-given talents of every young woman and work to ensure that each student, feeling the acceptance and support of a loving community, grows to see herself as a strong and competent contributor to her world. At Ursuline, every girl is an achiever in her own way.

As a Catholic, college preparatory high school, our Academy offers an enriching program for a range of college-bound learners so they may achieve their potential in their faith, academics, arts, athletics, leadership, and our motto of Serviam. No two students are alike, so we empower you throughout your four years to take the path that's right for you.

The best way to get to know Ursuline Academy is to visit us on campus! We provide a variety of opportunities for you and your daughter to experience our community first-hand throughout the school year. In the fall, we invite students in eighth grade to join us for a Shadow Visit, while seventh-grade Shadow Days take place in spring. Experience UA's sense of sisterhood and community, meet students and teachers, and see why every day is a great day to be a Bear!

We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
