House System

Our Ursuline education is rooted in tradition, community, and innovation. Our global experiences have allowed us to witness the power of community built by the rich tradition of the House System at some of our sister schools. In September 2017, we launched and officially inducted the first members of the Ursuline community into our new House System. The House System provides an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and alumnae to build community, promote unity, and create new traditions.

Our House System organizes our students, faculty, staff, and alumnae into three houses: Points, Novas, and Caps. Each house is based on one of Ursuline’s founding patron saints: St. Angela Merici, St. Ursula, and St. Marie of the Incarnation. Each house incorporates colors and symbols related to their saint’s history, and house groupings will be determined by high school graduation year. Beginning in Kindergarten, students are inducted into their houses and remain lifelong members.

Early Childhood students ages 2.5-4 years are recognized as our Little Skippers. As Little Skippers, children are included in many of our House System activities before being formally inducted into their permanent houses.

The House System also includes our alums. Graduation years are included below so our alumnae can identify their house.
