In 1877 when the first Louisville Ursulines purchased most of the land that is the present Ursuline Campus, they immediately opened a school that has become Sacred Heart Academy and Sacred Heart Model School. Over the years we have sponsored educational programs at this site to meet various needs:
- Sacred Heart Junior College
(1922 - 1938)
- Ursuline College for Women
(1939 - 1968)
now part of Bellarmine University
- Ursuline Speech Clinic
(1956 - 1996)
- Ursuline Tutoring Center
(1960 - 1994)
- Ursuline Special Education Learning Center
(1964 - 1981)
- Ursuline Montessori School
(1967 - present)
- Ursuline School for the Performing Arts
(1970 - present)
- Ursuline Child Development Center
(1986 - present)
Approximately 1,500 students are enrolled in the various schools and programs on the Ursuline campus. The academic excellence and value formation for which these schools and programs are noted attest to the experience and commitment of the Ursulines as educators.

 We are a dynamic group of women who see the needs of today's society and have dared to do something about them. Following in the tradition of our founder, Saint Angela Merici, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we choose ministries that help others to live more fully and develop a personal relationship with God.
What we do
Teaching Christian living is our corporate ministry, which cuts across socio-economic, racial and national boundaries. Our sisters minister in 12 states and in Peru, South America, serving in education, healthcare, pastoral service, spiritual direction, retreat ministry and parish ministry. We work with Hispanics, the deaf community, persons with disabilities, and the poor in both urban and rural areas.
