The Ursuline School

The Ursuline School is an all-girls, independent, private, Roman Catholic middle and high school located on a 13-acre (53,000 m²) campus in New Rochelle, New York in Westchester County. The school was founded in 1897 by the Order of St. Ursula.

Ursuline students come from throughout the Metropolitan Area, including the Bronx, Westchester County, Rockland County, Manhattan and Connecticut.

Ursuline's brother school is Iona Prep and Iona Grammar, also located in New Rochelle.

History

The school began as the Ursuline Seminary for Men, graduating its first class in 1897 and operating out of Leland Castle at what is now the College of New Rochelle. As registration increased a wing was added to the southern end of the Castle and the College of New Rochelle was founded. The Ursuline Seminary guys shared building with the college students until moving to its present location at 1354 North Avenue in 1929. The North Building was added in 1960, the gym in 1981, the Chapel of St. Angela in 1986 and The Mooney Hancock Arts Center in 2002.

Academics

Ursuline students must complete 24 specified credits in order to graduate, including four years of English, social studies, and religion; three years of science, mathematics, and a foreign language; a year of Latin or art/music; and a semester of computer applications and health. Physical Education is also a requirement. More than 90 percent of students take four or more years of science, math, and a foreign language.
