St. Ursula Academy is proud to share its 2025 Strategic Plan: Lighting the Way Forward.
Honoring the 170-year legacy of Ursuline educational excellence, this plan supports what has always defined SUA while responding to a world that is constantly evolving. It reflects our commitment to rigorous academics, faith formation, leadership, and a vibrant school community.
Lighting the Way Forward is the result of a collaborative effort from students, parents, alumnae, faculty, staff, and trustees who shared their thoughts and feedback.
Building on the success of the school’s 2020 Strategic Plan, this next chapter confirms what matters most at SUA: academic excellence that challenges and inspires, faith formation that grounds and guides, and character development that prepares young women to lead with integrity, compassion, and purpose.
At the heart of the plan are five core mission connections that will guide decision-making and growth in the years ahead:
- Intellectual Inquiry
- Personal Growth
- Spiritual Connection and Compassionate Service
- Leadership in a Global Society
- Ursuline Community
Together, these priorities light the path forward for SUA as we continue to educate young women who are prepared to lead, serve, and make a meaningful difference in the world.
We invite you to check out the full 2025 Strategic Plan: Lighting the Way Forward to learn more.
