Academics

A balance of rigorous academics and experiential learning.

University School serves grades 3-12 in a co-educational and non-sectarian environment. We offer a balance of rigorous academics and an intensive focus on experiential learning. Being small and flexible means we know our students as learners. We have the freedom to meet them where they are academically and strike the right balance of guiding them toward growth. This allows our students to meet themselves at their edge of learning, push themselves toward their goals, and achieve academic milestones at an often accelerated pace.

Intermediate School

Grades 3 – 5

Middle School

Upper School

Students at USL are provided individualized attention to spark their interest in learning as well as a strong connection with their peers, empathy towards others and the importance of community involvement.
