The Ursuline motto, Serviam (Latin for "I Will Serve"), is a lived reality at Ursuline, following St. Angela’s teachings: "You have more need to serve others than they have to be served" (from First Counsel).

The Serviam Journey

To build an appreciation for and love of life-long service, service is woven into the student experience from the very beginning through faith formation, academics, leadership opportunities, and community partnerships.

As students grow, their understanding of service deepens through age-appropriate experiences that help them see Serviam not simply as something they do, but as part of who they are.
