Fine Arts/Physical Education 

Fine Arts

In the art curriculum each student will develop her technical skills, expand her visual vocabulary and express herself creatively. She will learn to give visual form to her ideas and feelings by using a variety of interesting materials (clay, enamels, charcoal, watercolors, acrylics, etc.).

The student can choose those art courses that best suit her needs and goals. Art works and portfolios are regularly displayed in Ursuline’s Schildmeyer Gallery, the community, regionally and nationally.

Physical Education

A variety of team and individual sports are taught in the physical education classes during the freshman and sophomore years. We believe that movement is both pleasurable and necessary for day-to-day functioning. The curriculum emphasizes the benefit of lifelong physical activities. Within a two-year period the following recreational and athletic sports are studied and practiced: archery, indoor lacrosse, step aerobics and strength training, super circuit training, badminton, bowling, golf, field hockey, flag football, ping pong, physical fitness testing, softball.
