portrait of a villa graduate
Portrait of a St. Ursula Villa Graduate defines the elements of a St. Ursula Villa education which contribute to
our graduates’ well-documented successful outcomes as they journey through the Villa, high school, college, and
beyond. Faculty, administration, current and past parents, current and past board members, and top high school
administrators - all of whom are very familiar with our graduates - consistently identify four distinct characteristics
of a St. Ursula Villa graduate as: Lifelong Learner, Confident & Engaged Individual, Compassionate
Citizen, and Respectful Advocate. Every aspect of a St. Ursula Villa education, including academic and
extracurricular activities, directly promotes these attributes in every student.
