SISTER SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS AND DELEGATIONS Ursuline Academy of Dallas has sister schools in the USA, China, Chile, Peru, Brazil, South Africa, France, England, Taiwan, Jordan, and Australia as well as a partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Kampala in Uganda. Ursuline students are invited to apply to travel and to represent Ursuline Academy on delegation visits throughout the year. In order to apply to travel with an Ursuline delegation, a student must: • • • •
Be in good academic standing in all classes with no grade below a 75; Have an excellent disciplinary record; Have a tuition account that is current and in good standing at Ursuline Academy of Dallas; and Be re-enrolled for the following academic year (in order to travel in the summer)
All student applicants are required to fill out an online application which is submitted to the Office Global Relationships and Cultural Exchange. It is a privilege to travel on an Ursuline delegation. The number of student delegates on each delegation is limited. Students are chosen based on their maturity, flexibility, communication skills and global citizenship. The discipline record of students applying for travel will be reviewed by the Dean of Students, who may prevent the students from traveling with Ursuline on the basis of their disciplinary records or other safety related concerns. If a student is selected to travel, approval may be revoked at any time due to changes in the student’s disciplinary, attendance, or academic record. Students who are in financial arrears may not be allowed to travel with Ursuline.
