“ . . .in this way you will never
cease
to prune this grapevine that has been
entrusted to your care.” Saint Angela Merici
Beaumont, a Catholic school in the Ursuline tradition, educates women for life, leadership and service.
To achieve the position of “simply the best” regional, private, Catholic high school for girls in the greater Cleveland area and to continue to succeed based on adherence to the Ursuline tradition and on the continuing charism of St. Angela.
Confident that the directions we have set will enhance our current position and programming and prepare us for a challenging future, we ask you to join us in prayer and planning to make Beaumont School “simply the best.”
