Histoire administrative
Colegio de las Ursulinas was a Catholic academy for girls located in the Miramar area of Havana, Cuba. It was run by the nuns of the Order of Ursuline. The Ursuline Sisters is a religious order founded by Saint Angela de Merici of Italy for the sole purpose of educating girls. It was the first order of teaching formed by women established in the Church. After its establishment, The Order spread from Italy to Germany and France and then to the rest of the world where many communities were established, including in Canada, the U.S. and Cuba. The Colegio was founded in the 19th Century in Cuba, under the protection of the Spanish Crown and Cuban colonial authorities. In 1937, the school introduced a bilingual program, which became the Merici Academy. In 1961, after the rise of the Castros to power, the Colegio was sacked and the nuns were confronted and expelled when the Catholic schools were closed. Alumni of the school still host reunions in Miami.
