ULS has an outstanding academic curriculum and great learning environment. It has a great music programs and has small size student to teacher ratio. The school has a lot of student lead activities and student lead clubs.

I enjoyed the small classes and safe feel of the campus, but being a small school students have very limited course choices and no honors, AP, or IB opportunities which can make it hard when it comes to college applications. Teachers are great, but some of the administration not so much. I enjoyed taking art and music every day.

My Daughter is currently going to University Lab School and is far ahead of her many friends that are going to other schools in her same grade. The classes are very hands on and really help to develop and nurture the children learning process.
