Teaching Etiquette

USL’s experiential learning model incorporates soft skills in addition to the integrated coursework that one would think. Making eye contact, small talk, and shaking hands with individuals we meet is all part of our holistic approach to a USL education.

By teaching and practicing these small gestures of etiquette, students evolve to handle themselves with good manners on their own, away from school, and are capable of influencing those around them.

While University School places rigorous academics as a very high priority, one must also understand empathy, inclusion, kindness, and respect to be able to navigate a complex world.
