They have chosen St. Ursula Academy because they realize the importance of being challenged fully by highly qualified teachers. They understand too that in such an academically stimulating environment they will learn from other classmates whose inquisitive intellects and shared abilities will allow all to benefit individually and as a class in a communal sense of purpose ‘To be prepared for a changing world.’”
