本校由天主教聖吳甦樂會創辦。1964年,天主教高雄教區鄭天祥總主教鑒於高雄逐漸發展成國際港口城市,對外語專業人才的需要日益迫切,同時亟需推展大專教育,遂邀請深富教育經驗與傳統的國際性修會聖吳甦樂會來高雄籌設外語專科學校。1965年3月本校籌備處呈文教育部申請設校,同年12月召開首任董事會,推選鄭天祥主教為首任董事長;首屆董事會董事為于斌、賈彥文、王愈榮、申露德、林綺雲、秦愛梅、吳甦樂、王撫洲、龔士榮、王曉風、宋稚青、甘亨孫。
  
    1966年奉核設校,校名「私立文藻女子外國語文專科學校」,開辦英國語文、法國語文、德國語文及西班牙語文四科。董事會聘請王撫洲先生擔任首任校長。校名「文藻」,希冀師生能以第一位中國籍主教羅文藻為典範,探究真理,溝通文化,服務人群。同時訂定每年10月21日聖吳甦樂慶節為本校校慶日,校訓為「莊敬自強」。
  
    1980年依教育部指示招收男性學生,更校名為「私立文藻外國語文專科學校」;1999年升格改制為「文藻外語學院」,敦聘鮑霦女士擔任改制後首任校長,校訓更訂為「敬天愛人」。
  

    自1995年第十屆董事會起,聖吳甦樂會因應台灣高等教育轉型之需要,邀請天主教基督服務團加入董事會參與校務規劃之決策,與聖吳甦樂會共同經營本校。​



Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages was founded by the sisters of the Roman Union of the Order of St. Ursula in 1966. It was named in honor of Wenzao Lo. the first Chinese Bishop. Wenzao is known for its commitment to excellence in foreign languages teaching and research.


With its motto, “Revere the divine, love the human.” Sharing with that of all Ursuline schools, “Serviam” (I will serve), Wenzao hopes to develop students spiritually as well as to prepare them for success in this highly demanding and competitive world.
