The best parts of going to the Academy of Mount Saint Ursula is how much the pushed sisterhood. It was an all girls school and they really believed in women on women bonding and friendships. Working together and getting involved with one another allowed to make friends for life. The worst part was the arts and culture the school was really good on academics but club culture was to strict in my opinion or specifically outdated.

Great school. All girls school in Bronx. They have good programs including wonderful UN connection program. My daughter made lifelong friends and she is safe on campus. I'm glad to see they are renovating the school with technology. All the girls go to great colleges there as its a college prep school. The new Principal is wonderful and is bringing in new programs.

My 4 years at AMSU have been awesome. I have grown to be more independent and outspoken. I am challenged daily to be a thinker and doer. I have developed the skills of time management and to be detailed. The various clubs I have been involved in have helped me to be responsible and dedicated. AMSU has molded me into the young lady I am today. What I love about AMSU is the sisterhood we have there. This is the true definition of our motto "four years to a lifetime." I cannot think of anything at this time that I would like to see changed at the Academy of Mount St. Ursula.

I am an alumni of this school. I loved attending AMSU. It's definitely not a school for the fracile. You have to keep your head in the game and be ready to be challenged academically every day. But in the end, you find that you received an amazing education, become cultured and met some of the most...

My daughter went to this school and this is not a school for emotionally fragile girls. They did not do their best to accommodate my daughter. They are not as flexible as they should with girls with emotional issues. They have teachers that are extremely demanding. I have no complaints as far as the...

I am very pleased with the quality of education that my daughter received at the Academy of Mt. St. Ursula.
