[1] It is located next to Jakarta Cathedral and Filateli Post Office. The school has a branch in BSD, Tangerang.

The Order of St. Ursula from Rotterdam was the first of the many groups of sisters who entered the Dutch Indies. [2] [3] In 1858 they founded a convent by the name of Ursulinen Klooster, with their first convent in Nordwijk (Jalan Juanda) named St. Mary Convent. A year later the first convent located in Noordwijk became overcrowded and some activities were moved to a bigger house in Postweg (Jalan Pos). A new building was eventually developed and became known as Kleine Klooster ("small cloister"), to distinguish it from the older Saint Mary's convent, known as Groote klooster ("big cloister"). [4]
A Neogothic chapel was later added in 1888 and finally the Prinses Juliana School in 1912. [5] After the independence of Indonesia, the school became known as St. Ursula Catholic School.
The school consists of a kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school. The kindergarten and elementary school are co-educational. St. Ursula junior high school and high school in Jakarta only admits female students, while St. Ursula BSD are co-educational.
