Community is one of the greatest strengths of University High School. Since it first began enrolling students in 2000, University High has become one of the top-rated private high schools in Hamilton County. This private high school consists of two buildings, Fairbanks Hall and Andrews Hall, thanks to generous donations by Ann Andrews of Ann Arbor Michigan, Jill Perelman and other donors. It’s accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States and other organizations.
Thanks to small class sizes and a small overall student population, teachers can dedicate time to providing individualized support. University High School has a few specialized programs that promote individual and community success. A mentoring program provides one-on-one meetings between students and experienced faculty members. Campus-wide morning meetings provide daily connections and community spirit. Students enroll in a single, hands-on subject in January Term to promote enriching learning opportunities. University Trailblazers compete in 17 athletic events as part of the Indiana High School Athletic Association.
As a private school dedicated to college readiness, University School is proud to have a high college acceptance rate. Financial aid is available through merit scholarships and need-based support to help cover some or all of the tuition rates.

University is a great place with great people and a great environment. The teachers push the students to their full potential while the students also push the teachers to become even better at what they do. There are so many opportunities here as well.

This school was alright. It taught me a lot but its mentoring program was pretty lacking. I am grateful I got to go.

We have been only thrilled with our experience at University! The faculty rival their collegiate counterparts and care for the students to boot. The January Term experience is one-of-a-kind at the high school level, and offers experiences that can't be taught in a traditional classroom. We would hig...
