University Schools

Our family is new to University (high school), and we've got nothing but positive comments to make about all the teachers, administrators and coaches we've met. We're impressed with the available curriculum and academic performance, but most important of all, our son is excited about attending University.

I love University Schools because they have great teachers who are very dedicated to the children and their job. I also love this school because they teach children how to be independent learners. Three times a year the children have to prepare a PLP, a personalized learning plan. It means that the children choose a subject, study this subject in depth, and then do an oral presentation about it in front of their class. It is wonderful because it teaches children public speaking. It also gets them ready for college and interview situations later in life. My children love University Schools and are happy to go there every day. They are excited to learn and go to school every day!

The elementary curriculum is well balanced with a focus on literacy and content areas. I particularly like that the school offers Spanish as a second language, art, P.E., and music. My child's teacher is very creative and effectively integrates technology in many content areas. The principal is very attentive to parental concerns and is well-liked by the children.

University is a wonderful school. Its mission, to me, seems to be focussed more on fostering a learning and growing environment; on creating a love for learning and an expectation that you will learn, rather than just pushing studnets along or teaching to the CSAP. The teachers are truly gifted and dedicated, and if they don't make the cut, they are not invited back. Parental involvement is also a key, as it should be. Parents are not only welcome on campus, there is also an expectation they are part of the learning experience. I could not recommend this school more highly.

I am currently in 9th grade and i really enjoy this school. I have been here since 4th grade. I enjoy going to this school because I've known all the kids for a long time, and its easier to talk to people. I don't think there is a bullying issue with this school, because it's never happened to me and I rarely ever see it.

I really love my school. I am in 6th grade and i have been there since kindergaten. I really love this school. but I think I will move out in high school, just so i can explore new things and make new friends. But if there is any parents lookin gfo ra good middle school, I think that UMS is great because there is alot of welcoming kids here, including me. But one thing I dont really like is the teachers. some of them are really weird. but we really have good electives and I am having fun.

i't an ok school, i have liked it. But you are with the same kids from k-12 which is good, but you also have all the same kids picking on you. The teacher are good, but there isn't much extra curriculum. It is a very small school which is good and bad. but i want to go to a different school for the rest of my school years.
