This is a booklet describing and promoting Arcadia College and Ursuline Academy, a school for girls located at Arcadia in Iron County, Missouri, and run by the Ursuline Sisters, a Roman Catholic order.  Included are photographic illustrations and descriptions of the courses of study.

 

Arcadia High School was founded by the Rev. John C. Berryman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1847. After the Civil War it was reorganized and restyled as Arcadia College, but this institution failed in the mid-1870s and the property was sold to the Ursuline Sisters. Arcadia College and Ursuline Academy was established in 1877 by the Ursuline Sisters, an order of the Roman Catholic Church.  It provided primary, preparatory, and high-school educa­tion, along with commercial and musical instruction, to female students, many of whom boarded at the school.  This 48-page undated booklet describes the courses of study, rules, and fees at the school.  The school closed its doors for the final time in 1971.
