Ursuline Academy of Dallas is an independent Catholic, college preparatory school for young women in Dallas, United States. Founded in 1874 by the Ursuline Sisters, it emphasizes the total development of the individual through spiritual formation, intellectual growth, service to others, and community building. The school positions itself within the education sector to prepare students for leadership in a global society by blending faith-based education with rigorous academics. In July 2024, Andrea Shurley began serving as president of the academy, reflecting a leadership transition. In December 2025, the school launched a one-year, hybrid version of an AP Physics course led by Barbara Watson, illustrating ongoing instructional adaptation. The academy has earned recognition such as the 2021 Wisdom’s Hope Award at Bryan’s House Pathways to Inclusion Luncheon.
