SAINT URSULA ACADEMY: A PERFECT FIT!

• SUA created an environment of strong community, faith and endless creative opportunities for our daughter to explore. Always with a warm welcome and dedication to the growth of this sisterhood gives us great hope we made the best decision.

• SUA was the best fit for my daughter, both her opinion and ours. We feel the culture was a great fit and will provide her with a platform to flourish.

• Every SUA person we came in contact with (student, staff, teacher, alum) seemed genuinely passionate about their school.  It seemed evident to me that every staff person genuinely enjoyed working at SUA.  To me, that is the most telling sign of a great institution.  My daughter loved the feel of the campus.  It doesn't feel like a typical high school.  It feels more mature and more professional, and that is what she appreciates most about SUA.

• It is the school that made my daughters feel the most comfortable and they felt they were going to be able to be themselves without judgement.

• It was the best fit for our daughter academically, athletically, and religiously, boasting a multitude of other opportunities for her.

• Finding the place where you truly feel at "home". We really believe that we found that at SUA.

• SUA has a reputation for academic excellence, quality athletic programs, and lots of opportunities for clubs and extracurricular learning.

• My daughter loved the campus (feeling like college) and atmosphere. I really appreciated the enthusiasm and excitement I witnessed by all current students, faculty and staff during every event we attended at Saint Ursula.

• The Counseling dept is amazing. The opportunities are endless. The Art & Design program looks amazing. However, what drew my daughter in was how welcoming everyone is and the "freedom" girls seem to have. The school treats the girls like adults while still watching over and teaching them.

• We chose SUA for the exceptional college planning.

• Welcoming positive environment:  our daughter will be seen/heard/know...she won't just be another number or tuition payment.  It is an environment that exemplifies the Catholic faith in words and actions.  Attention to detail.  Easy/open communication.  Small class sizes.  It offers a variety of classes and experiences.

• I chose Saint Ursula because of how friendly and welcoming everyone is in the school. I felt so comfortable here unlike my old school and it seems like there is something for everyone at Saint Ursula.  I chose SUA because when I think of a school best for athletics, academics, etc., I think of SUA. I really wanted to be a part of this community and thrive throughout the next 4 years.

• There were so many factors that impacted our choices - personally and academically. The past few years were incredibly difficult for my daughter and the most important piece of this puzzle was that she felt accepted. I let her lead the process and trusted that she would be honest with her feedback. The process itself - the nuts and bolts - were very easy to follow and the expectations were very clear regarding next steps. What made this experience so much more was the staff - I will never be able to express my gratitude fully.

• Hands down SUA does a superior job of creating community and showcasing that.

• Saint Ursula has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.  My daughter felt at home from the first time she visited SUA.

• My daughter was most comfortable there, and we know she will thrive in the environment SUA has created for their students. We are impressed with the academic and extracurricular offerings at SUA and know that this investment in her education will impact her future and a positive way.

• When I first walked onto Saint Ursula Campus, the first thing I had noticed was the atmosphere and the people that were within it. There were girls everywhere I looked with smiles on their faces, and they were all saying hi. It made me feel happy and it made me want to attend Saint Ursula.

• The academics were the best and the school atmosphere was very welcoming and a good community. And while it didn’t add that much to the decision, I own an English Bulldog so I felt a slight calling to become a bulldog myself.

• I choose Saint Ursula Academy because I know that it will help me grow into a strong, independent, smart young woman.
