Each Ursuline student brings her own interests, experiences, and perspective to the community. Hear directly from students as they share how they pursue their passions, build lasting friendships, and grow in confidence at UA.
Meet Fion, Class of 2026
UA Interests: "Being a part of theatre has given me the opportunity to perform in ways I never thought I would, whether that’s singing in front of people or swinging from a hoop 10 feet above the heads of my cast members. As a dancer the department has given me invaluable support for my art, support that translated outside of school and spurred me to pursue opportunities internationally as well. It’s such a joy to do what I love."
What I Love About Ursuline: "At Ursuline I’ve gotten the chance and the freedom to really dive into all my passions both in the performing arts and the sciences. Along the way I’ve also met some of the most incredible people – girls that have helped me grow and flourish in innumerable ways."
Meet Vivian, Class of 2026
UA Interests: "I love being involved in UA's visual arts department. Before Ursuline, I didn't have much experience with art, but the studio art classes have provided me with a foundational understanding and guided me through my creative processes. I feel confident in saying that I have all the support I need from Dr. Holmes and have made lifelong friends in AP Art."
What I Love About Ursuline: “Aside from the staples – faith and academics – my favorite thing about the Ursuline community is the sense of sisterhood. As an international student, I have never felt so welcomed and loved in my school community. I have met my best friends and know that I have a secure support system behind me. I love how much everyone cares and will pause their own to listen; the staff, teachers, and students are what push me to become a better version of myself every day."
Meet Sehra, Class of 2027
UA Interests: "One group that feels especially unique to Ursuline is the Community and Inclusion Leadership Team. Through it, we’ve created spaces where everyone feels that they belong, planned activities during heritage months (like cultural dance classes), and led all-school assemblies, which, I must say, are honestly some of my favorite Ursuline activities (along with Intramurals)."
What I Love About Ursuline: "Being at an all-girls school means constant support and opportunities, both big and small. One of my favorite memories is during Intramurals, when the seniors gave up their front-row spot on the bleachers so our class could see the volleyball game better. When we won, they stormed the court with us, cheering like proud big sisters. Moments like that remind me why I feel lucky to be at Ursuline!"
Meet Eloise, Class of 2027
UA Interests: “Being on the cross country and track teams has given me some of my favorite memories at Ursuline. I have formed friendships with my teammates in every grade here that will last me a lifetime. I love the culture of working hard and supporting each other and look forward to our travel meets every season!"
What I Love About Ursuline: “My favorite part about the Ursuline community is that I am pushed to be the most confident version of myself. Whether I am asking a question in class or speaking in front of my peers, I know that I will be encouraged and supported no matter what. The girls here bring out the best in each other and I feel fully prepared for my future beyond Ursuline."
Meet Makayla, Class of 2027
UA Interests: “I love being involved in the Ursuline Global Program. Through hosting and traveling on delegations, I have met my Ursuline sisters and created friendships that will last a lifetime. I continue to learn more about the culture at our sister schools and other countries around the world. This expands the community I love at Ursuline to places around the world, making me a part of our global community!"
What I Love About Ursuline: “Ursuline creates a community where I feel welcomed every day. My friends and teachers encourage me to grow spiritually, academically, and socially. Ursuline truly feels like my home away from home!"
Meet Eden, Class of 2028
UA Interests: “Playing basketball has been one of my favorite parts of my Ursuline experience. The teamwork I’ve developed on the court has not only improved my skills but also has created long-lasting friendships."
What I Love About Ursuline: “Ursuline is a place where I feel encouraged to pursue my interests, both in sports and academics. The supportive environment created by the teachers and students inspires me to strive for success. I truly appreciate being part of a community that values personal growth and togetherness."
