Academy of Mount St. Ursula

The Academy of Mount St. Ursula is a Catholic girls' college preparatory school founded in 1855 as a part of the Monastery of St. Ursula in the town of Morrisania (now a part of the Bronx, New York City). It is the oldest continuously operating Catholic high school for girls in the State of New York, and is located in the Archdiocese of New York.

In 1892, the monastery relocated to Bedford Park Boulevard and Bainbridge Avenue, two blocks east of the Grand Concourse, in the Bronx. The school has been honored by the United States Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School. The academy continues to be accredited by the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools.
