Saint Ursula Academy is a Catholic institution where we share Jesus’ message that every person is made in the image of God. As such, the stakeholders (Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Staff, Students, and Parents) are responsible and accountable for building a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and compassionate community. This will be accomplished through planned programs and strategies that emphasize respect for and affirmation of the dignity and worth of every person.

Diversity and appreciation for the uniqueness of others are Ursuline core values at Saint Ursula Academy. St. Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline Order of Sisters, insisted on love and respect for every individual.

Saint Ursula Academy’s learning environment uses resources to create opportunities that build an appreciation for the talents, gifts, and abilities of all. Students have many opportunities to get involved in clubs, organizations, and activities that help build a welcoming and inclusive school culture.

It takes everyone working together with common goals to create a vibrant culture. At Saint Ursula, core values at our foundation are combined with Catholic social teaching to help us intentionally create a welcoming and inclusive community, where every student and adult feels they belong.
