Our Schools

FLEX YOUR BRAIN

At Ursuline, STEM and the arts power your world. Be a robotics champ and a portraitist, a math star and a poet, a linguist and an entrepreneur. We don’t put limits on what you can achieve.

Our early childhood program, inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, places curiosity at the center as students investigate the world around them. Project-based-learning continues through high school with interactive experiences challenging girls to expand what they’re capable of — across STEM and the arts.
