Great 6 years for my daughter. Small school setting, beautiful and compact campus. Opportunities in STEM and well as the arts.

UA was a very welcoming community. Was a small school and very rigorous but all the girls were very supportive of each other due to that rigor.

It's gotten better, but the board only cares about money and not the students. If I had the choice knowing what I know now of the school, so wouldn't go.

During these formative years, it was important that we could rely on a school that assisted us, as parents, in building confidence in our daughter and helping her to achie...
