The Ursuline Convent School - Senior Girls

Over 110 years ago, Ursuline sisters started a school in Barbados with six students, growing to ninety students by 1897. In 1908, the Convent moved to the current location in Collymore Rock, and in 1967, the primary and secondary schools were established.

 

Collectively known by students, parents and practically anyone in Barbados as "The Convent", the Ursuline Schools of St. Angela's and St. Ursula's have been providing quality education to Barbadian, Caribbean and many International students for many years.

 

The senior level of The Ursuline Convent School accepts girls only from ages 11-16.

The development of good social habits through co-operation team  work and friendly  competition with others

The promotion of a leisure pursuit which will provide enjoyment, satisfaction  and self  expression even  when school days are over

Religious education is a priority and seeks to provide opportunity for personal reflection and spiritual growth, for religious experiences and community service. Respect for other denominations and for non-Christian religions is upheld.
