  • ca. 1924-2007

In 1912 members of various religious orders came to Canada and among them were the Ursulines of Cologne. They served as educators in a parochial school in the parish of St. Joseph, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Guided by the Spirit, Mother Clementia Graffelder established a foundation in Prelate, Saskatchewan, in 1919, upon the invitation of Father Joseph Reidinger, O.M.I. On December 8, 1919, St. Angela's Convent, Prelate, was officially blessed. The Act of Incorporation of the Ursulines of St. Angela's Convent was passed in the Legislature of the Province of Saskatchewan on December 19, 1924.
The present Academy was part of the Convent complex, which had expanded over the years. In 1967 the Academy became eligible for private school funding by the Department of Education. In 1991 it was recognized in an Act of the Legislature as one of the eight independent historical high schools in the Province of Saskatchewan. On June 30, 2007, the Academy closed its doors due to the shortage of younger Sisters interested in education.
