Ursuline Academy was named to the 2023 AP School Honor Roll as a Platinum Member for the 2023-24 school year. We were awarded the highest combination of awards of all Delaware schools - both the Platinum & Access Awards. The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP Programs are delivering results and broadening access for students.
We are one of only four schools in Delaware to receive the Platinum Distinction, and furthermore the only Delaware school to also receive the Platinum & AP Access Award, demonstrating a clear and effective commitment to equitable access to advanced coursework.
• Only 886 (6%) schools in the United States & Canada earned the Platinum Award
• Only 4,570 schools received awards (of 30% eligible)
• Only 1,770 (39% of Honor Roll recipients) also received the AP Access Award Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on their ability to increase their school’s collegegoing culture, to provide opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
AP Capstone consists of two courses, AP Seminar and AP Research. Students learn to think critically and creatively to construct meaning and gain understanding, design and conduct a study or investigation, propose solutions to real-world problems, plan and produce communication in various forms, collaborate to solve a problem, and make cross-curricular connections.
The Class of 2024 completed their Capstone Seminar year with a 100% pass rate. 80% earned a 4 or 5: 39% points higher than the global average.

Many student-athletes go on to pursue their athletic careers beyond Ursuline Academy. The successful transition to college-level academics and athletics requires a coordinated and supported effort between the student, the family, and the school.
