University School is a full
school program for able learners from age three through eighth grade.
The purpose of the school is to provide an emotionally supportive and
intellectually challenging learning environment that rewards both
creativity and socially responsible behavior. We believe that a
person learns best in a supportive, but kindly firm, atmosphere where he
or she is actively involved and has some control over what occurs.
We know that each student is an individual, and therefore, we do not
expect uniform educational results.Flexible pacing is provided for all
children at our school. One of the most widely used methods is
open-ended materials and activities. The other is grouping of
students according to specific academic skills. Our low
pupil/teacher ratio, approximately 225 students and 45 teachers, allows us
to provide a great deal of individual attention to children.
