A school where you’ll feel supported by your teachers and embraced by your community.

BEAUMONT SCHOOL HAS IT ALL

EST. 1850 Beaumont School is here today because of four courageous Ursuline nuns who traveled from France to Cleveland and opened their school on Euclid Avenue in 1850.

Beaumont is an all-girls Catholic high school in the

First All-Girls High School IN CLEVELAND

Ursuline tradition that educates women for life, leadership and service.

“From your uniform to your locker, to your club or team, the girls here will become your sisters. You’ll bond over Beaumont cookies, spirit week, and singing the alma mater. You’ll share classes and ideas and dreams. Your Beaumont sisterhood will follow

you through four wonderful years of high school and remain by your side forever.” —Crystal ’22 Learn more at Beaumontschool.org/about

“I’ve heard countless times from our younger athletes that they believe if they had gone to a co-ed school they might not have even tried out for a sport. I think here they are able to feel confident. They are able to try new things. They are able to feel empowered. They love going out there and just giving it their all.

Beaumont really is a place where our athletes can flourish.”
