Guided by our catholic faith and the spirit of st. angela merici,
The Ursuline school educates, inspires and empowers young women to become wise, active, globally-minded leaders by cultivating lifelong learning, spiritual growth, integrity, respect for all and dedication to Serviam – “i will serve”
An Ursuline education opens doors. It sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and forms young women who lead with courage and compassion. For generations, Ursuline has been a place where students discover their strengths, grow in faith, and prepare to make a difference in the world.
Every day on our campus, learning comes alive. You feel it in the energy of our classrooms, in the spirit of our teams, in the creativity of the arts, and in the joy of service. Ursuline students know they are part of something bigger than themselves. They are seen, supported, and encouraged to dream boldly.
The Ursuline journey is one of belonging and becoming. Rooted in Catholic faith and inspired by the Serviam spirit, our students grow into young women of purpose who embrace achievement and service with equal passion. When they graduate, they carry forward more than a diploma. They leave with lifelong friendships, a sense of mission, and the confidence to shape the future.
We invite you to experience Ursuline for yourself and discover what makes this community so extraordinary.
Warm regards,
Dr. Colleen Melnyk P’18

Our New Rochelle campus boasts modern classrooms, state-of-the-art athletics facilities, professional centers for fine and performing arts, and more – the perfect place to learn, explore and cultivate friendships. When technology and hands-on learning combine, powerful things happen! To further our commitment to academic excellence, Ursuline recently unveiled three state-of-the-art student spaces.
The Innovation Hub is a 2,700-square-foot makerspace designed to immerse students in technology-driven, design-based learning. Here, students work alongside STEAM educators in courses such as Engineering, Computer Science, and Intro to Design Thinking— each fostering creativity, problem-solving, and handson exploration. What truly sets the Innovation Hub apart is its access to cutting-edge tools and emerging technologies—including 3D printers, laser and vinyl cutters, Micro:bits, and Edison app-enabled robots. By engaging directly with these technologies, students gain authentic, future-ready experiences that bridge classroom concepts with real-world applications,
preparing them to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
At Ursuline, we prioritize preparing young women for a seat at the table, whatever that goal might entail.
Our High-Tech Media Conference Center comprises 780 square feet and features a 40-seat seminar-style classroom, meeting and presentation space. The Maalouf Family Collaborative Learning Space supports our growing Business program and features Bloomberg terminals, providing students with real-world tools and experiences that prepare them for success in college and beyond.
