Diverse student body
This spirituality extends beyond the school to the
larger community. A wide variety of community service
learning programs provides ways for students to be
active in the larger community, to develop relationships,
and to practice their faith. Throughout the school
year, you will have opportunities to engage in tutoring
and mentoring programs for area youth, in collecting
food and supplies for the under-served, in visiting
and assisting the elderly, and in both domestic and
international summer mission trips. Diversity is a core value at Sai nt Ursula Academy.
Historically, the esteem for diversity is rooted in the
teachings of St. Angela Merici, whose ideals continue
to shape the educational character of the Academy. St.
Angela insisted on love and respect for every individual
and a responsiveness to the “needs of the times” and
people of all social classes, especially
those marginalized.
The community service program will expose you to
issues on a regional, national, and global level and
encourage you to reflect on your service work as it
connects to your individual gifts, your faith, and your
ability to be agents of change. Community Service
Learning staff also partner with faculty to integrate
service into the classroom.
Saint Ursula Academy embraces this imperative for
diversity. The Academy’s city-central location attracts
diversity in its staff and student body, including different
social, racial, religious and economic backgrounds.
