My experience has been amazing! It will be bitter sweet to leave this place I consider my home for the last 14 years.

I have attended UMS-Wright Preparatory from K4 - 12th grade. UMS-W focuses on "Mind, Body, Spirit." As the oldest school in Alabama, it has had 125 years to fine tune its rigorous academic curriculum. Although we hold numerous state championships in sports, our arts programs thrive, as well. With a spirit of school pride and family, we remember our core value of "honor" each day when we say the Honor Pledge. I would like to see more diversity at my school, as this is a private school.

This school has provided a wonderful education to my children. Academics are great and students consistently get admitted to highly selective schools like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia,Dartmouth,Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford,U Penn to name a few. Sports and Arts are very well represented too.This...

Highly recommended. Strong academic rigor and great preparation for college, compared to other local private schools. Also, many extracurricular activities in both athletics and the arts. Faculty are well-trained and highly motivated.

My daughter has attended UMS since K-4. She is now in 3rd grade. I wish that I had the opportunity to attend such an excellent school. She loves going to class and the curriculum is impressive. It really does feel like a family. Highly recommended.
