Students in the ES Program meet the same academic
requirements as their classmates and are mainstreamed
into College Preparatory, Honors, and Advanced
Placement classes.
Educational Services Program
Established in 1982 so that each student has the opportunity to develop her academic potential,
Saint Ursula Academy’s Educational Services Program (ES Program) uniquely serves girls with learning
disabilities and AD/HD by providing accommodations identified in the student’s service plan or IEP.

Empowering each student
to reach her own potential
In order to guarantee a high quality of service, the
ES Program maintains a small number of students
in each class. Students in the ES Program are selected
through a separate application process at the time of
admission to Saint Ursula Academy. If you or your student
are already receiving academic accommodations at your
current school, we encourage you to learn more about
the ES Program by contacting Ms. Geri Walsh at
[email protected].
Personal and college counseling
The Counseling Department specifically addresses academic and personal growth, college and career
awareness, and the development of the whole person. Each student is assigned to one of six skilled counselors
who will provide caring and consistent support as she plans her future. Each counselor’s caseload is low
compared to other schools our size, which allows our students and counselors to form meaningful relationships
through small group sessions and individual meetings. All of our counselors are licensed social-emotional
counselors. Saint Ursula Academy contracts with individual mental health professionals to provide consultation
and additional services on an as-needed basis.
